Passage is a set of libraries and tools aimed to put your
product under licensing protection
Features
Easy to integrate
You can protect a product by
licensing literally with less than ten lines of configuration code.
Passage and Access Cycle (Passage runtime) take care of the rest.
Flexible and adaptable
Passage runtime is designed with
the finest care in a series of services with clear functionality.
While there are perfectly orchestrated set of well-functional
default implementations right out-of-the-box, API allows you to
contribute your particular algorithms in almost any place of Access
Cycle. This means you can affect the very process of license
checking to make it suit your peculiar needs.
License issuing
While Passage Access Cycle prevents
a product from being exploited without proper license, Eclipse
Passage Operator product, an RCP application, is dedicated to the
license issuing. It helps to define and evolve product
decomposition in terms of licensing, lease, keep and trace issued
licenses; supplies analysis and reports.
Floating licensing
Passage supplies its own
implementation of floating license server, which is integrated and
tested with products under Passage protection.
Plug Passage Access Cycle to your
product to empower licensing protection. It is ready to operate,
but can be flexibly tuned to address special demands of your
product.
And
how RCP-application communicate actual licensing status, allows
import a license, supplies information gathering for license
issuing, explains licensing state diagnostic.
Licensing of a product is a broad area. Despite Passage is
good enough in its out-of-the-box configuration, there are
still plenty of ways to make it satisfy your needs better.
Passage API is simple, integration
documentation is exhaustive and the very design of
Passage-Product-Passage communication is subtle and
straightforward. Yet you still can invite Passage Team to implant
Passage runtime into your product.
Customize runtime
Passage is highly configurable and
there are very much functional implementations for each part of its
runtime. Nevertheless, if your product needs something special, we
can implement it and integrate.
Handle license issuing
When your product is protected, lots
of new tasks related to license issuing open up: invent, keep and
manage licensing meta data, issue, store and distribute license,
communicate with clients. Passage Operator product helps to serve
these needs, but we can take care of all these tasks for you
entirely.
Run a Floating License Server
We can host and maintain a Floating
License Server for your needs.

Passage is an open source project developed by a small team of
seasoned engineers under Eclipse
Foundation roof. It is available for use under terms of
Eclispe Public
License 2.0, which means you can utilize it in a wide
variety of ways. We are always glad to get help with the current
tasks.
