ShadowProtect IT Edition 3 Licensing Model   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #809 of 834 |
Hi,

At CRM Innovation we are going to release our next S+S solution for Microsoft
CRM and I am considering including a Partner Licensing model as an alternative
in addition to the typical end user licensing.

Basically it would be 'similar' to the ShadowProtect IT Licensing model

http://www.storagecraft.com/shadow_protect_IT_edition.php

http://www.storagecraft.com/documents/SPITLicense.pdf

Whereby they provide a CD I believe for use by one tech each year for a
renewable fee.

In our case we would license our service by a single account sign in to the
hosted service and the partner could then use the Data Import/Migration tool
with as many clients they work with each year.

In subsequent years they would renew the subscription.

What I am wondering is how does Shadow Protect manage the use of this recover
CD?

1. Honor system
2. CD which can't be cloned
3 Other security method.

Anybody know how they do it or alternatively do you use this same type of
licensing model from any other vendors?

A date stamp of some kind is involved. I was told by the Shadow Protect rep that the quarterly updates will function for 30 days after the end of the quarter,...

So it seems that they are using an honor policy as there isn't any mechanism to prevent an organization from making copies for each of their support techs nor...

Almost all volume license software is licensed that way. For example, volume license media from Microsoft will let you install Microsoft Office as many times...
