Excel Software is pleased to announce an innovative new tool in the QuickLicense product to protect and license Windows and Macintosh software. A software vendor can now drag and drop an application onto the AddLicense desktop icon to wrap it with any license configured from QuickLicense. A protected application is generated in seconds using the original application icon and no programming required.
QuickLicense 2.2 can be used to configure and manage almost any kind of software license including time or execution limited Trial editions, machine or name activated licenses or software subscriptions. All Windows computers from 98 through Vista are supported. The Mac OS X edition has Universal Binary support for PPC and Intel processors.
With the QuickLicense application, a software vendor configures how the activation procedure works and any software usage restrictions. This flexible approach makes it easy to create many kinds of licenses and protect desktop applications, plugins, spreadsheets or multi-media content. The runtime and encrypted ticket files are deployed with the application to hold the license information. On startup, the application calls the runtime to validate the license. With AddLicense, the runtime and ticket is embedded into the desktop application file.
A user can activate and use a protected application on any computer even without an Internet connection. Activation codes provided by phone, email or instant web page can work with any download or retail distribution process. The optional Safe Activation Service from Excel Software allows a vendor to present a customized activation web page, control activation count by serial number and present instant activation codes to users.
QuickLicense can manage customer information collected during the activation process. Customer data can be imported, searched, organized and used to manage each license. The batch email capability allows messages to be individually customized and precisely targeted. Database capacity has been increased to 25,000 licenses in version 2.2 and optimized for speed. The Site License edition supports multiple databases and multiple users.
QuickLicense is $495 for a Single User License on Windows (98 through Vista) or Mac OS X (PPC and Intel) or $795 for both platforms. The package includes an integrated help system, examples, tutorial, PDF and printed manual. Each license purchase includes royalty-free distribution of the QuickLicense runtime file for any number of products or licenses on that computer platform. Download the QuickLicense movie from the company web site for a demonstration of how the license configuration and activation process works.

Excel Software is shipping QuickCRC for responsibility driven design of object-oriented software using CRC cards. CRC cards are well suited to agile methods or as a front end to UML. The new release supports Windows Vista, Universal Binaries on Mac OS X and other enhancements.
QuickCRC Windows 3.1 is built to run on all Windows computers from Windows 98 through Vista. The product includes a new Windows Vista friendly installer and integrated help system. Once installed, the user can run QuickCRC from a Standard user account.
QuickCRC MacOSX 2.0 is a Universal Binary application optimized for both PPC and Intel based Mac OS X computers. The new application and help system runs over three times faster on new Intel based machines.
QuickCRC automates responsibility driven design. A CRC card holds information about a class including attributes, responsibilities and relationships. A scenario describes a design pattern as a collection of communicating classes. External agents define interfaces. Users enter design data through dialogs, capture it from nouns and verbs in a text specification or drag and edit data between cards directly on the screen.
QuickCRC handles up to 10,000 cards with all design information in memory. Editing changes are instantly reflected throughout the model so every name and relationship reference is always accurate. QuickCRC Windows includes a Lite edition for smaller projects. The Lite edition has the same features but runs on older computers with limited RAM.
A software designer can single step through a design pattern to see how a set of classes will respond to an external event. Cards can be automatically arranged on the screen by relationships or grouped into named diagrams. Card information can be printed, generated to a text or HTML report or exported to a text file. Exported design data can be used in QuickUML, MacA&D or WinA&D to generate UML class diagrams in seconds. QuickCRC has a new search capability to locate cards with specific data, plus other enhancements for diagram captions and color.
QuickCRC Windows and QuickCRC MacOSX are each priced at $295 for a Single User License. Projects can be edited and shared across platforms. Each product is available in a Site License. The product includes software on CD, printed and PDF manual, example project with step-by-step tutorial plus an integrated help system. Visit the company web site for product information, free trial download or secure online ordering.

June 21, 2007 – Excel Software began shipping MacTranslator 2.0 for generating graphic models from source code. This major upgrade adds PHP support and namespaces for other languages to organize captured code design.
PHP is a modern language for web site development that supports procedural and object-oriented programming with integrated database support. UML class diagrams show PHP classes, interfaces, relationships and class member details. Structure charts show the hierarchical structure of function calls for each thread of execution. MacTranslator scans PHP source code to extract design information to a text file that is imported into the MacA&D modeling tool to generate models.
MacA&D supports Class diagrams and Structure Chart diagrams enriched with PHP language specific details. Within MacA&D, diagrams contain objects linked directly to the associated code. An integrated code browser provides seamless navigation between diagrams and code.
MacTranslator generates models and dictionary information from legacy source code, class frameworks, open source projects and other reusable code assets. It provides a fully automated, step-by-step process to quickly create diagrams and dictionary information that documents an unfamiliar project.
* Project Scalability to Millions of Code Lines Across Thousands of Files and Folders
* Class Models from Object-Oriented C++, Objective-C, Java, Delphi or PHP
* Rich Data Models from SQL
* Structure Charts from Procedural C, Pascal, Basic, Fortran or PHP
* Multi-Level Diagrams with Objects Linked to Associated Source Code
* Data Types, Arguments, Namespaces and Comments Captured from Code
PHP programs are event driven by end-user actions like clicking a button or selecting a menu on a web page. A user event often triggers a thread of execution that involves dozens or even thousands of PHP code lines to run. Together, MacA&D and MacTranslator can shift through and identify each thread of execution. A separate Structure Chart is generated for each thread. Reused branches of a program are presented on a shared child diagram. The process is automated so little human effort is required to reveal the structure of existing code.
MacTranslator is a Universal Binary application for Intel and PPC Macintosh computers priced at $495. See www.excelsoftware.com for product information, pricing, demos and secure online ordering.
