Jigsaw License Manager is an efficient utility for managing the licensing aspect for Eclipse Plugins and closed source Eclipse RCP Applications in a flexible, secure, easy and fast way.
Here are some key features of "Jigsaw License Manager":
· Eclipse applications can create or verify application licenses which are bound to users, systems or any other entity.
· Licenses can be perpetual or temporary (valid within an arbitrary period).
· Shareware applications can configure secure on-demand creation of free trial period licenses.
· The authenticity of licenses is assured by using the digital signature mechanisms provided by the Java Security API.
· A password protected Java keystore holds the private and public keys used for signing and verifying licenses.
· Privacy of installed license content is maintained by using the password based encryption mechanisms provided by the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE).
· Client applications can leverage simple-to-implement extension points that define the licensing behavior.
· The 'License Management' perspective is integrated into the Eclipse IDE, allowing you to manage licenses while developing your client application.
· An SWT based license management wizard is provided to allow easy license installation/verification for users.
· Long time persistence, portability and efficiency is achieved by creating XML based certificates and compressing them.
