WebCrypKey
version 1.0
WebCrypKey allows a publisher or software company to distribute copies
of a demonstration program freely (including over the internet) and
yet control the distribution of fully functional unlimited time versions
of the same program. It allows the Demo to become the full version
after payment of a fee (or entry of a special code which can support
a many copy sale) and interaction via a custom registration sub-program
with a remote site(s). WebCrypKey is a product and a service which
Metadigm LLC and its customers have used for the last 3.5 years and
which has been installed in hundreds of customer computers in commercial
software. The multiple remote sites system (sites not related or connected
to the Domain name sites customers go to learn about or download software)
is inherently immune to Denial of Service Attacks and acts as an ultimate
firewall to proprietary functions and/or data sets.
WebCrypKey also now provides "Unregister" a fully automated
and unique patented way for users to be able to move their encrypted
license software from one computer to another 24/7 without ever involving
a custoemr support call or email! In addition it has an automated
"Personal" CD system for flexible sales of licenses (with
a publisher internet remote controlled upper limit) through a credit
card as password control system.
WebCrypKey is also the subject of three U.S. patents or patent
applications. In its broader use it is a Distributed Scalable Transaction
engine. Among its special abilities is the capability to support
very small transaction volumes with variable downloaded content.
For example a Special Events exe provided automatically by Metadigm
to a Community organization wishing to hold a raffle or dinner or
baseball game etc. would be placed for download by that Community
organization on their webpage along with a designated field which
described the event of the day, week, month or hour. Any member
or attendee to that site who downloaded that exe could run it at
any time (or have it launch automatically on event changes at the
Community site) and see and purchase tickets for the latest event.
This would be billed automatically and require nothing more then
the community site and up to three auxiliary ftp sites (per 5,000
users) along with a servicing pc or two at Metadigm's facility.
This system would work 24/7 for the Community service at $1 to $3
per transaction with 45 day pay down (or a full coverage bond).
As another example consider a small special equipment company with
a need to provide very high reliability parts and information services
to its small number of high value customers.
Any complex information or automatic purchase, inventory and transaction
service including shipment tracking could be provided automatically
24/7 with the monthly principal cost being the price of three or
four ftp accounts (typically in small volume about $45.00/month)
and a three pc's to provide fire walled isolated service with the
companies proprietary functions. The system would be immune from
Denial of Service Attacks.
A monthly service contract from Metadigm for the system would cost
about $250.00 depending on volume, while a one time price tag for
this system customized to fit the buyer would start at $25,000 with
$5,000 for annual support.
