Orion Network Licensing Platform release speeds integration, provides improved manageability, and supports large-scale 24x7 hosted licensing environments.

Santa Clara, California. Agilis Software today announced a major new release of the Orion Network Licensing Platform. Version 2.0 brings faster integration into vendors’ applications and back-office systems, supports million+ user populations with 24x7 operation, provides strengthened management tools for administration, monitoring and reporting, and strengthens security and privacy.

Developers on a tight product delivery schedule will appreciate Orion's new high-level client APIs for Java and .Net applications. Engineers can build Internet-based product activation and floating network licensing into their applications in a few minutes by adding just one line of code. Automated fulfillment and management of trial and production user licenses from back office eCommerce and enterprise application systems is streamlined with a comprehensive suite of back office integration API’s and tools.

High-volume software publishers can benefit from Orion 2.0’s million+ user licensing capacity with 24x7 uninterrupted operation and system maintenance, and support for administration of large-scale application installation bases. Automated email alerts enable administrators to respond rapidly to system problems, attempted security breaches, or to customers who may need to add licensing capacity. Orion’s multilevel security model enables vendors to optionally delegate administration and monitoring responsibilities to resellers and / or end customers.

Orion includes built-in software asset tracking and business intelligence capabilities. Detailed licensing activity data is captured in its relational database, from which vendors can generate graphs and download reports on license usage, activation history, activity timelines and more using a web browser or API in order to gain insights into how their software is actually being used. Armed with this timely analysis, vendors can better understand where to focus their engineering, marketing and sales efforts.

While Internet-based license activation offers convenience for the vendor and end-user without risking abuse, it is ordinarily not available to application installations having no internet access. Orion 2.0 adds a further option to the existing web self-service solution for users with disconnected systems: the Orion Proxy Server enables security-conscious customers to benefit from automated activation over the Internet from isolated internal systems via 'DMZ's. The Orion Proxy Server’s automatic failover capabilities also provide high network and server availability as well as a “server overdraft” licensing capability.

Software and systems vendors worldwide are using Orion to offer Internet-based product activation, concurrent-user licensing, subscription licensing and software asset tracking on a wide range of platforms.
