Why use DinkeyOMS?
Every company that sells software needs to manage their customer information. If you protect your software with a dongle then you will also want to include information about the dongles that each customer has.
If you need to change the licence parameters inside the dongle then you will also need to generate update codes. In this case it will help if you store the update number for each dongle. However, you might also want to store other information like the current expiry date or the features value for each licence in the dongle. This can be lot of work. To make things worse, sometimes your information will be incorrect if a customer gives you incorrect details or forgets to apply an update code.
On top of that, some licensing models require you to generate a high frequency of update codes, which can compound these issues.
DinkeyOMS has been designed to solve all these problems by providing a simple way for you to manage all your customer's dongles. You can view the current state of a customer's dongle online and also easily make changes to the dongle's licensing information. This will generate an update code which will automatically be applied to your customers' dongles. You can even make changes to multiple dongles at the same time.
DinkeyOMS also includes an API that can be integrated with an existing system such an online shop. This allows you to fully automate the dongle update process so that you do not need to be involved at all!
Another powerful feature of DinkeyOMS is the ability to block a dongle remotely if a customer has reported a dongle as lost, damaged or stolen and you are not sure you trust them. This ensures they cannot continue using the dongle.
