Abstract
A system and method for conducting a web-based postage transaction, includes receiving user credentials at a web server, validating the user credentials, and in response to valid credentials, providing access to a remote client to at least one module of a postage software application. The module is configured to execute requests to perform the web-based postage transaction and to, for each revenue generating request, perform a validation check. The validation check includes a requirement that the module have access to the web server for the request to be fulfilled. In an embodiment, the postage software application includes a module configured and arranged to determine the availability of a client-side device configured to execute the request to perform the web-based postage transaction and, when the client-side device is unavailable, to prevent execution of the request, and when the client-side device is available, to allow execution of the request.
