Additional Product Information
eRights is an advanced licensing management system for Internet publishing. It allows publishers to define and manage authentication rules, customer groups, users, resources, products, licenses, prices, and actions through a powerful yet readily-understandable graphical user interface. Publishers can now easily create and maintain rich business data and logic to achieve sophisticated price differentiation for online content and services. ;;;eRights Provides a Total Solution;eRights gives you the ability to manage commerce the way you want to: powerful and flexible software for advanced online licensing. eRights secures your content and gives you the power to exploit it:;Flexibility: integrate multiple business models and multiple access control mechanisms, without having to make major modifications to existing systems.;New Ways of Doing Business: deploy differential pricing, implement multiple payment mechanisms, identify institutional subscriptions, slice and dice for new virtual products - and all against your existing content repository.;Options: you can charge per view or per access; you can set concurrency limits; you can authenticate by passwords, IP address, or cookies; choose what works best for your business.;Control: easily usable by non-technical staff with a simple point-and-click interface.;Automation: integrate with your business system to achieve automated web business.;Future Proof: the flexibility to evolve existing business models and to choose and test new business models.;Learn: track usage and understand which business models work online, and why. ;;;eRights Bridges the Gap;eRights bridges the gap between existing content management and online financial transaction;(e.g., CyberCash) technologies, allowing nonprogrammers to create and modify publishing business;logic and data. Programming costs (time, money, support, and management) are drastically;reduced or eliminated. Online revenues increase as publishers can create more sophisticated;licensing and pricing regimes than otherwise possible. Publishers can respond immediately to;market opportunities; sales and marketing departments are no longer constrained by programming;budgets or resources. Licenses, offers, and discounts can be made or changed at will. ;;eRights Gives You Flexibility;eRights authentication rules include usernames, passwords, domain names and masks, IP;addresses and masks, certificates, and any combination of the above. Customer groups can be;nested to any depth and a given user can be in multiple customer groups. Products can be content;or services. Licenses map customers to products with use, time, concurrency, and other;constraints.;;License types include rolling and calendar subscriptions, pay-per-view, free trials, and;renewal grace periods. Each license has one or more prices and actions to take upon activation.;Multiple prices allow for simple price discrimination: a product may cost different amounts to;different types of customers. More sophisticated price discrimination can be maintained by creating;different licenses for one product to multiple customer types, or vice versa. Additionally, purchase,;activation, use, and termination of a license can trigger customizable events. These can be used for;such purposes as allowing a customer to take advantage of only one discount offer, or emailing a;customer upon license expiration. ;;eRights Uses Advanced, Reliable Technology;eRights is built upon a modern, multi-tiered, multi-hosting, open-framework, distributed,;multi-threaded, Java architecture. The eRights Server and Administrator (GUI) run on all Java;platforms (Windows 95, 98, NT, Macintosh, Solaris, HP-UX, Irix, etc.) and work with Microsoft,;Netscape, and Apache web servers on all vendor-supported platforms. eRights can work across;multiple web servers (real or virtual) hosting distinct or identical (e.g., DNS round-robin) content.;eRights can bring geographically-separated web servers operating on different platforms into a;common licensing regime.
