We have received quite a few emails over the last few days asking for the
UpdatePROTECT release date.

The UpdatePROTECT add-on to SetupBuilder 5.1 is already code complete and
we are using it in SetupBuilder 5.x to handle "Maintenance and Support Plan
IDs".

We'll try to release a new SB51 build next week to make UpdatePROTECT
available to the public.

The UpdatePROTECT add-on makes it possible to generate "Expiration Date
Keys" to protect your software updates. This technology is well suited
for software subscription services in which the end-users subscribe, for
instance on a monthly, quarterly, semiannually, etc. basis. At the end
of the subscription period, end-users will have the option of extending
the subscription or simply continuing their current version. But end-
users will no longer be able to utilize product updates released after
the subscription expiration date. With UpdatePROTECT, the subscription
renewal is easy and simple. You only have to send a new "Expiration Date
Key" to your end-user.

You can use UpdatePROTECT in both full installations and "smart" web
updates (live Internet version updating) created with SetupBuilder 5.1.

It's even possible to install (or "smart" web update) different versions
of your software based on the UpdatePROTECT "maintenance key".

We'll make more information available soon.

If you already have questions, please let us know.
