The first version of PHPAudit was originally developed in 2002 to license a market leader in the host billing market. After a year of protecting the script without any problems, PHPAudit v1 was released to the public in 2003 as a stable and mature product. The year long testing of PHPAudit led to a stable platform which allowed many other companies to effectively utilise PHPAudit and stop the pirating of their script(s).
Throughout these past few years PHPAudit has never been responsible for any licensing related problems at any of our users scripts. Some of our customers have 10,000's of licenses in PHPAudit and not once have any of them had any problems. With something as critical as licensing, you want to know that it will work without requiring constant fixes, updating or changes to make it work.
In May 2005 PHPAudit v2 was released, and is the only fully featured licensing system available on the market today which offers a full shopping cart, full invoicing abilities including TAX, a remote API to extend PHPAudit, and complete control over your licenses. Since 2003, PHPAudit has revolutionised the licensing of PHP scripts through industry first innovations and PHPAudit v2 continues this trend.
Great Features
PHPAudit has a number of great features, such as the ability to run multiple sites and brands from the one administration panel. Our 'order profiles' system supports an unlimited number of order forms and client areas, which can each be branded individually. Along with licensing, the ability to encrypt and protect the actual PHP source code is a huge issue. In 2004 PHPAudit began offering a bundle of PHPAudit and the ionCube PHP encoding software. PHPAudit v2 introduces integration with the ionCube encoder through a project management utility that provides on the fly encoding and archiving of your distribution. PHPAudit offers the unique ability to handle not only the entire order purchase, client management and invoicing management but also the complete process of licensing and ionCube encoding the source of PHP scripts.
Having been in the market for 5 years, PHPAudit has a large user base of PHP developers who often have very similar needs. PHPAudit v2, the newly released version of PHPAudit, is the culmination of over a years worth of feature requests, suggestions and comments from our users. What our users want and need is what we aim to provide.
Revolutionary API
Since v1.1, PHPAudit has included a feature packed API. This allows companies to keep any existing systems in place while utilizing the licensing features offered by PHPAudit to protect their scripts from piracy. With the release of PHPAudit v2, the API system has been further developed and will allow companies to solve individual business needs more efficiently through both a local and remote set of API calls.
Strong Infrastructure to Handle Mission Critical Issues
With something as mission critical as client management, distribution and licensing software, it is imperative that there is a complete and stable support infrastructure available to not only support end users, but end users own users. Since the beginning, PHPAudit and SolidPHP, Inc. have been known for the exceptionally fast and effective support provided to not only paying clients, but users of trial versions as well. With PHPAudit there is no need to worry, as we are provide a full SLA and can often provide near 24/7 support coverage by having staff in a variety of time zones. Individual SLAs (service level agreements) can also be created for any specific needs.
SolidPHP, Inc is a private, family owned business that isn't responsible to shareholders or investors, and this allows us to provide professional but friendly support and to go that 'extra mile' to solve a customer's problem. We have a number of support resources including a knowledgebase, strong community forums, e-mail, livechat and help desk. In many cases, support requests are answered and resolved within only a few minutes. With PHPAudit, help is only a few keystrokes away.
Competitive Pricing
We don't charge $1000's or even $100s - our licensing is simple and is based upon the needs of real businesses - our licenses have no limits on the number of products or users you can manage and are simply sold based on the number of active licenses you wish to have to allow both small and large companies to take advantage of PHPAudit. We are in business to change the industry and the world through constant innovation and use of technology.
Multiple Licensing Methods
PHPAudit v2 can license scripts in a variety of ways such as remote and local key based designs. The remote licensing design connects to your PHPAudit installation to validate a users license using sockets, cURL or the PHP fopen wrappers. Some people dislike the idea of remote licensing, and so the 'local key' option allows you to generate license keys for your users that are decrypted and verified within your own script, allowing you to license your script without any need for it to connect to another server. A unique feature of PHPAudit v2 is the ability to combine the local key and remote designs, whereby the script calls home to your server and validates the license, but if that isn't possible falls back on the local key and validates the license without any disruption to the end user. These numerous and flexible methods of license validation allow PHPAudit to work with the most basic or complex PHP scripts. Our customers have also ported the integration code to many other programming languages and technologies such as ASP, Perl and Flash.
