[ANN] EasyLicenser 2.0 - 100% Java License Manager

Agilis Software today released the 2.0 version of their popular EasyLicense
Software License Manager. EasyLicenser 2.0 increases security, speeds
integration, broadens tools for ecommerce, and introduces support for
Agilis's Orion Internet License Server.

EasyLicenser's new public key-encrypted digital signature and password
mechanism protects against spoofing of the runtime libraries. If a
programming-savvy hacker attempts to replace the libraries, or to modify
them in any way, the license test will fail. Public key cryptography is also
combined with access-controlled passwords to protect against hackers who try
to clone keys, or to use them across products. Users who try to extend a
time-limited licenses by changing their system clock will be defeated by
tougher protection in the Basic APIs.

Metered licensing, where an ISV sells a fixed number of operations to a
user, is increasingly popular, especially for new software-as-a-service
delivery mechanisms such as web services. EasyLicenser 2.0 broadens support
for this licensing model by automatically and securely tracking metered
usage units or usage count, so accelerating the development process for ISVs
using metering.

Further details, a free trial version, or an upgrade for existing
EasyLicenser users can be obtained from the EasyLicenser website:
