ISV(Independent Software Vendor) User Guide

From AppWave
Jump to: navigation, search

The Vendor Portal is the gateway to an easy-to-use app store for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). Once an ISV has self-registered for the AppWave Public Store , you can master and upload your apps.

The ISV apps are mastered using the AppWave Studio . During mastering you are asked to provide your vendor user and password. For more information on Mastering, see [Mastering your Apps]

Mastering the app provides the following:

  • App is "tamper-proof". Mastering helps prevent hacking your app once it is in AppWave .
  • Securing licensing -the app can run for x number of days. The .app itself is secure to prevent tampering with licensing information in metadata.xml.
  • As the ISV, you can either: disable the licensing in the executables; or provide a super key in the file or registry so that they are not opening their software up for easy privacy.

Once your apps are available in the Store, an interface is available so you can manage your products. The workflow for adding an app is illustrated in the following diagram.

There are also two reports, a summary report, and a detail report, which track downloads, sales, customers, etc.

Note: Always make sure to consult the README for late breaking updates.
