SoftwareKey System Reviews & Product Details

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're not super technical, so the process was intimidating; however, tech support was always there for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-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.

-Rich developer materials. I needed to integrate the SoftwareKey system with 2Checkout e-commerce solution - which seemed like a daunting task. I expected it to take at least a couple of weeks - or hiring a developer to do the job. Fortunately, SoftwareKey had a library of PHP scripts that covers all the necessary tasks for license creation. Within a couple of days I had a basic working solution for license key generation from 2Checkout calls.

-In addition to the complete licensing solution it was important to me to have a self-serve license portal for the users where they can manage their activations. SoftwareKey offers just that - and the portal is also highly customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing yet - and hopefully it won't change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of implementing a licensing solution for an individual with little coding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, everything worked well for me. I personally do not have coding experience but was able to implement the licensing myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity and ease of use/integration of Protection Plus into my Delphi Apps as well as the ease of implementing the End User interface for registration and module enable/disable changes. The software and support Apps are seamless in their operation/use. Having said that I have only used/deployed Protection Plus v 4. Whilst I am sure it is a significant enhancement over v 4, for my purposes I found Protection Plus v 5 confusing and complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing I can think of. SoftwareKey's Protection Plus does everything I need att. Provided of course they continue to support my developement environment, Delphi, with version 4. :-) Having said that, it appears that development of v 4 has stalled while they focus on v 5. Not a big issue and in common with many other software vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall the system worked for our needs and was easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't think of anything. So tricky to give relevant feedback here! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SoftwareKey was very easy to setup for our development team. However, what I really liked was how easy it was for our customers to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a solid product. However, with any products we use that contain large sums of data I can always see room for improvements with reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
