SoftwareKey System Reviews

Once we were set up, the system was seamless and uneventful so we can focus on what we do best, servicing our customers. Technical support, if needed, was always there and helpful.

We're not super technical, so the process was intimidating; however, tech support was always there for us.

It opened up a new sales process and source of revenue for us.

I worked with Tanner O from SoftwareKey's support team to activate their software and another licensed feature for our custom software. Tanner was very knowledgeable and patient in helping me. I wrote a custom software dialog that gave our user the ability to evaluate our software or activate. This was an advanced application that required API calls and custom modifications to the license to activate both. Tanner's knowledge and support was invaluable through out the process. I don't believe I would have been able to accomplish this task in an efficient manner without him. Thanks!

The software API for software key has lots of options and someone is needed to guide you through the options. However, this is expected with a full featured software package.

The product from softwarekey was a great fit for our organization! Their tools are easy to use, easy to implement and the support of the team was responsive and easy.

Overall the system worked for our needs and was easy to use

Easy access that is affordable for small businesses

The ease of implementing a licensing solution for an individual with little coding experience.

Nothing, everything worked well for me. I personally do not have coding experience but was able to implement the licensing myself.

Give it a try to see if it will work for you.

After spending over $15,000.00 with a Microsoft Gold partner hired to provide a licensing solution for our software to no avail we were able to create two licensing models using Software Key and Solo Server at a substantially lower cost. I personally was able to apply the licensing protocols to our software with little coding experience.

We worked with SoftwareKey to streamline one of our software license processes...it had proved tricky and no one in the past had provided a suitable solution. SoftwareKey were great! They provided a robust and professional solution and their support was fantastic - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Can't think of anything. So tricky to give relevant feedback here!

It streamlines our software license distribution and cuts out a very cumbersome manual process.

-Great value for the set of features they offer. That's my conclusion after researching all other available solutions on the market for desktop software license protection.

-Stellar customer support which is fast and efficient.

When it comes to streamline the customized licensing, Protection PLUS is your best bet. Their incredible support and commitment helped us deliver licenses to our clients and distributors across the globe with least efforts. The SDK is easy to implement and doesn't take long to customize according to our needs.

The labor cost is bit on the higher side.

Customized - composite licensing

I like the fact that it is a completely turnkey solution, from the development pulls, the website, the way you can tailor it to look like my website, I like everything about it. It's complete. I could have used the simpler way of not integrating the code, but I wanted to develop it and code it into my program completely so that it works seemlessly with my site. And I wanted to make sure that everything was set up right, and that required more than your standard support. I was willing to pay for additional help, and you have the Jump Start program, and I signed up for that. You worked with me to get it scheduled, because my schedule has been so tight. And you guys were thorough. You went through all the settings and checked under the hood for me, and made sure we had everything set up right.

Only 1 thing - I found that there was someone who was trying to download my program, letting it expire, and then download it again, letting it expire, etc. There wasn't a way to get around that using the system, but my developer was able to figure out how to stop it by tracking the IP address. I was disappointed that SoftwareKey didn't think of it...

I wanted to be able to give away fully functional software, but have people not abuse it. I was able to accomplish that with your software because I could license it, then cut them off. We've done a very limited launch, and haven't really launched it yet because we wanted to get it out & get feedback. We'll be doing a big push to 12,600 people who use what we sell on Facebook. That will be the real test, but I'm confident that the SoftwareKey System can handle it.

We have used Software Key to protect our installed computer-based training courses since 2002. Rarely have we required support, but wherever we do, it is speedy and helpful. While the software always met our needs, over the years it has continuously improved making it easier for us to administer, but more importantly, easier for our customers to use. Over the years we have many record-keeping systems to track customer usage and billing of our products, but ultimately, the data in Software key proved to be the easiest to maintain, accurate and simple to access.

There is really nothing that we didn't like about Protection Plus and Software Key.

I have no idea of what competitive products are out there. When we chose Protection Plus it was the only option that would work for us and since it works so well, we haven't looked into other options.

We needed to protect elearning courses that we sell as installed software. It was tricky to do since we didn't need to protect the main installation, but each of the courses that runs in the main installation, but our programmer worked with Protection Plus and figured out a way to make it work. That was in 2002 and we have been using Protection Plus since then. We felt we need to protect our software against people unknowingly misusing it. It worked...often we would get people trying to install our software in other sites of a company which was against our license. I don't think that people intentionally (most of the time) tried to get around our license, but when they did, we knew about it.

Search option is optimal with many choices available.

Adding shipping types. It is tiresome to add multiple shipping means

Customer service is a breeze because all information and activity is located on one screen.
