Easy to use Trial keys and Computer Bound keys
Quick License Manager (QLM) is an easy to use license manager that creates professional and secure license keys to protect your Microsoft Windows based software against piracy.
QLM creates trial keys, machine bound keys and online activation keys.
Licensing for .NET, C++ , Excel, MS-Access, Delphi and more
QLM can protect .NET applications, ASP.NET, VB6, C++, Delphi, MS-Access, MS-Excel, Outlook add-ins and much more. Integration with .NET applications is done by simply dropping customizable .NET Controls in your application.
Online activation and full license tracking
QLM provides a complete license management console. You can track and manage all your license keys as well as your customer information. Online activation is provided with an ASP.NET license server that stores license information in a database.
eCommerce Integration
If you sell your software online using an eCommerce provider, QLM integrates seamlessly with the ordering process and can automatically issue license keys when a purchase is made online. With QLM, you can fully automate your license key distribution process. QLM is currently integrated with Plimus, FastSpring, ShareIt, Regnow, SWREG, Paypal, Google Checkout, Avangate and UltraCart. Additionally, QLM can be exended to support your own eCommerce provider. Contact us for details.
If you use Affiliates to sell your software, you can associate license keys to an affiliate and track the sales of each affiliate.
Subscription Licensing
For subscription based software, QLM can issue keys that expire after a period of time. Renewing a subscription can easily be automated from your eCommerce provider.
Check for Updates and Email Notifications
Add a Check for Updates feature to your software so that your customers are always current with your latest release. Send scheduled customized email messages to your customers to notify them of specials and/or upcoming releases.
Editions
QLM is available in 3 editions: QLM Express, QLM Professional and QLM Enterprise.
QLM Express, our entry level solution, is targeted at companies that want to secure their software using license keys without software activation.
QLM Professional is targeted at companies that want to fully automate their license management process from the time of purchase throughout the life cycle of the license, including online software activation.
QLM Enterprise is targeted at companies that want to implement floating or concurrent licensing for their application.

Quick License Manager Express Licensing
Quick License Manager Express is sold on a per-seat basis. You need to purchase 1 copy of Quick License Manager Express for each system on which you install it. You can distribute the Quick License Manager DLL royalty free as long as your product does not compete directly or indirectly with Quick License Manager. You can use Quick License Manager Express for any number of applications. If you install the Quick License Manager DLL on a server for the purpose of generating or activating keys, you need to purchase an additional license for the server.
Example:
Your company develops 3 products. You have 10 developers working on the 3 products. 3 out of the 10 developers need to work with the Quick License Manager API and install Quick License Manager Express on their system. You should purchase 3 licenses of Quick License Manager Express.
You install Quick License Manager Express or the Quick License Manager DLLs on a system for the purpose of generating keys. You should purchase an additional license for that system.
Your support representative uses the Quick License Manager Express user interface to generate and validate license keys. You should purchase an additional license for the support representative.
Quick License Manager Professional Licensing
Quick License Manager Professional is sold on a per-seat basis. You need to purchase 1 copy of Quick License Manager Professional for each system on which you install it. For each purchased license, you can install a single copy of the Quick License Manager Professional web service on a single server, beit at your site or hosted at an ISP. If you want to redistribute the web service with your application to implement floating (concurrent) licensing, you need to purchase Quick License Manager Enterprise.
Example:
Your company develops 3 products. You have 10 developers working on the 3 products. 3 out of the 10 developers need to work with the Quick License Manager Professional API and install QLM Professional on their system. You should purchase 3 licenses of Quick License Manager Professional. In addition, each license you purchase entitles you to install the Quick License Manager web service on 1 server for the purpose of generating keys.
Your support representative uses the Quick License Manager Professional user interface to manage the keys issued by your Quick License Manager Professional server. You should purchase an additional license for the support representative.
Quick License Manager Enterprise Licensing
If you are looking at implementing a floating or concurrent licensing scheme for your application, you need to include the Quick License Manager web service with your application. With Quick License Manager Enterprise, you can distribute the Quick License Manager web service with your application royalty free as long as your product does not compete directly or indirectly with Quick License Manager. For more details, see the full License Agreement.
Quick License Manager Enterprise is sold on a per-seat basis. You need to purchase 1 copy of Quick License Manager Enterprise for each system on which you install it.
What is floating or concurrent licensing?
A floating license allows multiple users to share use of your application. With a floating license, if one user is using your application, all other users will be denied access to your application. When the user exits your application, another user can begin using it. The floating license can be configured for 1 or more simultaneous users. Access is controlled by the Quick License Manager web service which monitors licenses.
There are 2 ways you can use Quick License Manager to implement floating licenses:
- If your application is guaranteed to have internet access at all times, then you can host the QLM web service at your site or ISP site. You therefore do not need to distribute the Quick License Manager web service with your application. In this case, you should purchase Quick License Manager Professional.
- If your application is not guaranteed to have internet access at all times, then you need to ship the Quick License Manager web service with your application and are therefore required to purchase Quick License Manager Enterprise.
