Softwrap has developed a unique turnkey digital distribution solution that is available for free download at www.softwrap.com. This free download allows software authors to "wrap" their applications using the Softwrap wrapper. Wrapped applications can still be distributed using normal distribution channels such as download sites, but Softwrap takes responsibility for the entire back end e-commerce solution including credit card processing and fraud control. Authors still have the ability to specify the length of the trial period. After the trial period has elapsed users will be faced with no option, but to buy the application should they wish to continue using it. A nice feature includes the bought application being locked to the users machine, if copied it reverts to the pre-purchased ie encrypted trial status. Best of all it is so easy to use and free! Its nice to see that there is now a way for us software developers to easily earn revenue for our efforts instead of always giving them away!
