		Protection Options / Models \| Try Before You Buy \| Buy Without A Trial \| Buy Before Download \| CD Activation \| Retail Protection \| Demo Only \| The Softwrap technology has been designed with the flexibility to offer a wide variety of protection and distribution models. These include the following: Try Before You Buy Buy Without A Trial Buy Before Download CD Activation Retail Protection Demo Only Try Before You Buy End-users can download software or install it from a CD/DVD. They will experience a trial period based on a range of protection rules set by the software publisher. The software can be licensed and seamlessly unlocked within the title either online or via a toll-free support centre. Buy Without A Trial End-users can download software or install it from a CD/DVD. There is no trial period and only the option to purchase a license or activate an existing license. The software can be licensed and seamlessly unlocked within the title either online or via Softwrap's toll-free support centre. Buy Before Download Software can be purchased directly from a website or e-shop. The customer can then receive a link to download the protected content and activate the license. This method is very important to help limit bandwidth costs for hosted titles ensuring that all downloads are paid for. CD Activation Software can be distributed by means of a CD/DVD along with a license activation code. The activation is then completed either online or via the toll-free support centre. Re-distribution of the software will result in viral sales as the software remains secured and new users are then able to purchase new licenses. Retail Protection Software distributed through retail is most at risk to piracy. Softwrap™ ACTIVE! offers a solution to radically reduce piracy from retail sales. Customers are required to activate their software license contained in the retail package either online or via Softwrap's toll-free support centre. In addition, this solution also creates viral sales as well as cross-selling and up-selling opportunities as customer's data is passed onto the author/publisher. Demo Only This type of protection is geared towards software that is not for sale. Users are able to trial the software for a limited period of time only and then becomes completely inactive. It is a very useful tool for distributing beta versions for testers to ensure it is not widely distributed.
