TLL Activation server

Activation server extends TLL Core functionality with features requiring online environment to work correctly. It gives you better control over your software distribution and automatize whole software purchase and delivery process.

TLL Activation server is generally recommended to developers and companies with more purchases, where license issuance automation drastically reduces human effort to serve the customer. TLL Activation server is also recommended when company or developer has advanced requirements regarding licensing control.
