A licensing system is available for vendors to sell their software with Hardware ID locking to prevent unauthorized software distribution and sharing. Transactions and sales are recorded on-site with a messaging system for all users. A simple fraud system is added for PayPal payments helping sellers to identify fraudulent users and block them from purchasing.

We haven’t fully monetized each of our services during this rapid growth period, plans to do so are imminent."
