Low-cost licensing software?

[hbell1]

Does anybody know of low-cost licensing software that can integrate with IVF (no more than a couple hundred dollars)?It just needs a mechanism to discriminate between an unlicensed shareware version of my software and a licensed version. That is,the licensed version (after paymentformy software isreceived) becomes uncrippled.

Polyhedron's Licensing System PLS may be a choice:

Thanks Jrg, but PLS is $350 US for a single application license - too expensive for me.

I found Quick License Manager from Interactive Studios to be fine for me. It cost me 78GB pounds, whichI guess is about 150 US dollars. Youwrite some COM stuff to interact with a DLL that they supply and which you distribute with your applicationin order to validate a license key. License key generation is really simple. You can download a demo from http://www.interactive-studios.net/products/products.htm

I found one interesting licensing solution. It works on machine specific activation keys.And the best part is, you do not require any code level integration for software licensing.
Its a tool wherein you just have to take your .exe or executable and on a single click it will wrap your software or executable with protection shell. That means you do not require any changes in your code to protect your software from piracy. And I think cost is verymuch resonable.

Does it work for a DLL?

Just for information, why do you want to license a dll file?

I think I can help you for your queries if you could reply back.
