A secure license key solution provides software license keys for enabling and/or tracing use of software where a license key comprises a message encrypted by a private key and the public key for verifying the message according to asymmetric encryption techniques. The message and public key may be used by a software enabler (e.g. an installation wizard) to enable the software and/or create a secure tag for incorporating with an output of the software to uniquely the license of the software used to create the output. A license key management system may generate license keys for respective software licensees and comprise a database to store an association between respective software licensees and their license keys to identify the license associated with output obtained.

Secure license key method and system

A message wizard enables assisted visual development of operations to process an incoming message for an application on a communication device. The wizard provides a series of pages from which a developer can select a desired action to perform on a target upon receipt of the incoming message and select a specific target comprising at least one data component from a set of candidate data components. The wizard then automatically generates code to implement the selected action on the target. A message page to visualize the message, target and the relationship between then and, as applicable, any script generated to implement the action may also be provided. The wizard may provide a data component type page to select a type of data component and then provide the series of pages in response to the type of data component selected.
