Posted October 8, 200717 yr ..................software developers to easily mark features as "licensable entities" that can later be controlled through various kinds of digital licenses....... ........... a business or product-marketing group to create digital licenses for certain feature bundles, where they can easily turn on and off those features that were marked as protected and deliver only the desired functionality to the end-user. .........the gathering the monitoring data, which can be used for things like billing, such as utility based billing at the end of the month, or to create statistics on what usage has happened within the application for future product planning. Note: Application monitoring is an optional feature, and we expect the ........ end-user to opt in to such a process. - the ability to fine tune software offerings even after the product has been shipped. for example If it's five or six months after the product has shipped, and it turns out that the .....market, for example, really wants a package that has certain features, we can generate new licenses .......on demand............ All they need to do is create a new digital license and make it available, and it will unlock and enforce those features. .................the flexible distribution and license application in any way they want to, even after the product has been released, depending on their business model. .............being able to target customers in a direct way, where you're giving them exactly what they need and only what they need. What security implications would you see with this approach? Rob
