Press Release Body: Excel Software is pleased to announce an innovative new tool in
the QuickLicense product to protect and license Windows and Macintosh software. A
software vendor can now drag and drop an application onto the AddLicense desktop
icon to wrap it with any license configured from QuickLicense. A protected
application is generated in seconds using the original application icon and no
programming required.

QuickLicense 2.2 can be used to configure and manage almost any kind of software
license including time or execution limited Trial editions, machine or name
activated licenses or software subscriptions. All Windows computers from 98 through
Vista are supported. The Mac OS X edition has Universal Binary support for PPC and
Intel processors.

With the QuickLicense application, a software vendor configures how the activation
procedure works and any software usage restrictions. This flexible approach makes
it easy to create many kinds of licenses and protect desktop applications, plugins,
spreadsheets or multi-media content. The runtime and encrypted ticket files are
deployed with the application to hold the license information. On startup, the
application calls the runtime to validate the license. With AddLicense, the runtime
and ticket is embedded into the desktop application file.

A user can activate and use a protected application on any computer even without an
Internet connection. Activation codes provided by phone, email or instant web page
can work with any download or retail distribution process. The optional Safe
Activation Service from Excel Software allows a vendor to present a customized
activation web page, control activation count by serial number and present instant
activation codes to users.

QuickLicense can manage customer information collected during the activation
process. Customer data can be imported, searched, organized and used to manage each
license. The batch email capability allows messages to be individually customized
and precisely targeted. Database capacity has been increased to 25,000 licenses in
version 2.2 and optimized for speed. The Site License edition supports multiple
databases and multiple users.

QuickLicense is $495 for a Single User License on Windows (98 through Vista) or Mac
OS X (PPC and Intel) or $795 for both platforms. The package includes an integrated
help system, examples, tutorial, PDF and printed manual. Each license purchase
includes royalty-free distribution of the QuickLicense runtime file for any number
of products or licenses on that computer platform. Download the QuickLicense movie
from the company web site for a demonstration of how the license configuration and
activation process works.
