Akton software licensing has changed. Akton now employs an encryption unlocking mechanism to manage its software licenses. We have incorporated a product from Kenonic Controls called Crypkey. There are some minor additional tasks to perform when installing this software. There are also significant benefits to Akton and our users. Our software can now be distributed easily over the internet, there by eliminating shipping costs. There is concurrent network sharing and license management for education and corporate environments. We have a more flexible licensing mechanism that allows us to create a larger number of licensing options.
All the code we distribute is the same, by default it installs as an Unlicensed copy and operates at level 0. Code can be distributed via diskette, CD, intranet, internet. Licenses are enabled by entering a "site key" which "unlocks the program." The key is based upon a "site code" that is generated when the software package is installed. The customer supplies the "site code", we supply the "site key." Once the program is "un-locked" it will function at the applied license level, and with the enabled license options
