How do I secure my application against unlicensed use?
Every self-respecting software developer needs a side income, but the question is always the same. The answer is Zarqon!
- The Zarqon Desktop Control Center allows you to easily define products, features and feature sets and issue licenses for them.
- The easy-to-use Zarqon API allows your application to validate a license online in seconds.
It's easy to focus on implementing your application's functionality and let Zarqon control user access to it. Sell your application through any channels you like and get paid directly when users purchase a license. And you can configure quick access to your advertising and payment vendors right in the Zarqon Desktop Control Center.
Secure and Reliable
Why entrust your sensitive licenseholder information to some random dot-com?
Zarqon stores all of your license data securely in your own Amazon S3 account.
Only the license holder will have all the information necessary to decrypt the publicly readable license to verify its contents.
This means your licenses are secure, and you don't have to bake your Amazon secret key into your application where it could be hacked.
And with Amazon's long history of reliable worldwide up-time for the S3 service (now backed by SLA), you need not worry if your users will encounter delays or downtime due to license data being inaccessible.
Feature-Level Control
Why not take full control of your application?
Issue licenses for time-limited trials, recurring subscription fees, ad-supported free apps with premium options, or upsell individual features to existing users. Control it anyway you like.
Zarqon’s versatile product licensing model supports ’Free/Basic/Pro’-style feature sets and expiration of the license, a feature set or individual feature. In your application it is easy to check if a given feature is available, if it has a maximum or if it is disabled or expired. And you can easily disable a license if it has been compromised.
And all of this is done without needing to hand over any control to a third party, as many other licensing schemes do. You don't have to log in to anyone's server to access your products and licenses, you don't have to wait for payments to reach some payout level, or share any of your revenues with anyone.
Built for Adobe Flex & AIR
Arguably, Adobe Flex is one of the most mature enterprise-scale RIA technologies on the web today.
In 2009, Adobe announced 100 million downloads of AIR, the desktop incarnation of Flex. AIR makes it easy for potential users to become actual users in seconds, whether they're running Mac, Windows or Linux. And in 2010, that audience will see explosive growth as AIR enters the mobile arena. Those are your potential customers and their ranks are growing every day.
Flex applications secured by Zarqon can be licensed to run only from a specific website without requiring you to expose your license holder details over the web.
AIR makes it easy to store your user's license holder and key information locally in an encrypted format, so that it is safe from hackers and viruses. In fact, Zarqon itself is built on AIR and uses the Zarqon API for license control.

Zarqon Big Picture
Coming in Q1
We will begin beta testing Zarqon in 2010/Q1 with a limited number of Adobe AIR developers.
Testers that actively participate in the confidential beta program will receive a free Zarqon Solo License.
Also, in case you're wondering, you don't need to use PureMVC to build your Zarqon-licensed application.
