摘要： A licensing system provides for various versions of an application within a software product. A license type is identified from a product key that is associated with the software product. The license type may correspond to a hybrid license. When the license type is a hybrid license, an application state is determined for any applications included in the software product. A use experience for the applications is provided according to the application state when the application state is determined. For applications that are provided as upgradeable versions, an upgrade may be obtained by simply obtaining a new product key that is associated with the upgraded versions of the applications.

摘要： A licensing system provides for enabling and disabling features based on the product key included with a software product. A distribution channel associated with the software product is identified. The distribution channel is identified according to a channel ID obtained from the product key. A set of default features associated with the application is also identified. The set of default features are modified to produce a new set of features for the application when the channel ID is associated with a modifier. The new set of features is applied to the software product such that a use experience and features of the software product is controlled by the product key.

摘要： A grace period is provided during which the features of a software application may be fully utilized and appreciated without requiring entry of a product identification key code or other authorization code. After loading a software application onto a user's computer, a grace period is provided during which the software application may be booted and used with all its associated features and functionalities before requiring entry of a product identification key code or other authorization code. At the end of the grace period, entry of the appropriate product identification key code or other authorization code is required, followed by activation of the software application.

摘要翻译： 提供宽限期，在此期间，可以充分利用和赞赏软件应用的特征，而不需要输入产品标识密钥代码或其他授权码。 在将软件应用程序加载到用户的计算机上之后，提供宽限期，在该宽限期期间，可以在要求输入产品标识密钥代码或其他授权码之前引导软件应用程序并使用其所有相关联的功能和功能。 在宽限期结束时，需要输入相应的产品标识密钥代码或其他授权码，然后激活软件应用程序。
