New in Version 5 of Easy Download Protector™

We've taken the best digital protection for ClickBank and PayPal sold digital products and made it even better. Here are some of the latest improvements.

IP Abuse Alert!
This the killer function that you've been calling for and frankly if you're thinking of using a system which doesn't include this feature, then you must think again (TIP: We're not aware of another system currently on the market which does include IP Abuse Alert!).

Put simply, when someone buys your product they'll set up an account to access to your downloads area. So far, so good. But what happens if they then pass those same login and password details onto someone else. And then they pass it on to more people and before you know it - that one account is being shared all over the internet.

Now with IP Abuse Alert! built into Easy-Download Protector we've put you back in control.






 

You set a threshold (we recommend 10 or 20) for the number of different IP addresses that are allowed to access the download area under any particular customer sign-up and if that number is exceeded then Easy-Download Protector will email you to let you know that about a case of possible account abuse going on. You can then take steps to resolve the issue by either suspending or deleting the account or more often just seeking an explanation from the original registered customer.

Now of course it may be that someone quite properly accesses your product from more than one location or they are not assigned a permanent IP address by their Internet Service Provider.  Usually in the latter case the first part of the IP address is very similar, so it's easy to tell whether it's still them accessing your product.

But where there are just too many IP addresses from lots of locations, you can finally take action. We've tested it and it works brilliantly. Here's the email that you'll receive if someone shares their account login and password with others:


Import And Export Your Customer Records

Importing customer data can be very helpful if you plan to migrate to Easy-Download Protector from another customer database or protection system. The import wizard allows you to import all the common formats including comma delimited (CSV) and TAB delimited files, plus any other delimiting character you specify.

A simple button from the main menu now allows you to export your customer data for local backup or to provide you with greater flexibility to carry out a customer mailing via another program.


Total Customers Count
Previously there wasn't an easy way of knowing how many customer records were held in your Easy-Download Protector, so we've added a column from the Select Customer screen which shows you in real time.


IP Address Search
Now in addition to being able to search your Easy-Download Protector customer base on Email address, First or Last Name, you can also search for a customer on the basis of the IP address that they used the day they signed up.

The ability to search by IP address can prove useful if you ever want to manually cross-check between someone who has made a PayPal purchase, but has then used a different email address when it has come to creating their account in with you in Easy-Download Protector.

*Note: You need to ensure that you've included the IP Address as a customer field in PayPal in order for the information to passed over to Easy-Download Protector.


Minor Bug Fix
As ever we've tidied up some other issues and fixed some minor bugs for v5.

 


New in Version 4 of Easy Download Protector™

Once again we've been hard at work packing yet more features into the web's leading ClickBank and PayPal protection script Here's some of what's new in EDP Version 4.

Simplified Control Panel
When you login to Easy Download Protector™ you'll immediately notice that the Main Control Panel has been simplified. Gone are rarely used buttons and links related to the initial set up (now professionally handled by our installer anyway). Instead you'll find one obvious button to log in to view and/or control your customer list. Here's how the new display looks:

Of course all the other options still exist, but don't occupy as much screen space.
 


Options Over How Many Customers To Display Per Page And New Search Box
Previously every customer would list on a single Easy Download Protector™ page. Once you have a lot of customers the screen could take time to generate. Now you have the option of listing just 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 customers.  Or if you prefer you can still select to list them ALL.

In addition we've also added a search function, so that you can locate that specific customer via FIRST, LAST or EMAIL ADDRESS.  Thanks to these upgrades it's never been easier to locate the customer you needed.

 


How To Take Advantage Of These Upgrades
If you're an existing owner then you don't need to do anything. Just login and these enhancements are already live. If you've yet to purchase Easy-Download Protector then you'll find these advantages are already built in when you pick up your own copy here.
 


Minor Bug Fix
We've upgraded some minor issues and fixed some bugs that have materialized. Nothing very serious, but all of which will speed up the way in which Easy Download Protector™ performs for you.




New in Version 3 of Easy Download Protector™

We've been busily enhancing Easy Download Protector™ and the new features confirm our script as the best on the market when it comes to setting up a ClickBank or PayPal based membership or download area.  Here are some of the enhancements we've made in v3.

Expiring Membership Area
Previously the only time when Easy Download Protector™ would cease to provide access to your customer would be if you manually suspended or deleted their account.  Not any more.

With version 3 of Easy Download Protector™ you can set a membership expiry period from just 1minute to 20 years! (technical note, cron tasks run every ten minutes, so emails may lag behind particularly short expiry periods measured in 10 minutes or less).

Now there are other scripts on the market that boast this feature, but there are none which also send out emails inviting your customer to sign up again -- all automatically.  Here's how it works:

Under Extended Options (that you can simply ignore if you don't want to ever have your download area expire for your customers) you can select how long Easy Download Protector™ should wait before terminating your customers access. At the time of expiry an email (customizable by you or you can just use the pre-programmed version) will be sent alerting your customer to the fact that they no longer have access.

So far so good, but here's the clever part...

In addition to the email sent at the moment of expiry, you can also ask Easy Download Protector™ to send out an email in advance of the expiry time, warning your customer the access will shortly cease and inviting them to sign up again.  Then, after access has already been terminated, Easy Download Protector™ will optionally email your previous customer again, remind them that their access has ended and give them a final chance to sign up one last time.

But get this...

On each occasion your customer is given a link back to your sales page (or you can use a bespoke link just for returning customers if you prefer) encouraging them to re-purchase access to your product and when they do buy again (using their original email address), their previously inactive account is switched back on.

Better still, let's say you have a customer who is a member and you warn them that their access to your site will expire in say 1 week's time. EDP will even email and let them know that if they purchase additional access at that moment in time (1 week ahead of expiry), then the additional time purchased will be added to the 1 week they still have left.  In other words, there's no need for your customer to wait until the last moment to re-purchase access to your membership area because the script will add the remaining time left to their new purchase.

Real life example of expiring membership feature in action...
With most of my products, one back-end benefit for my customers is the ongoing access to the download area. They can bookmark the download location and come back to find updates of the same product in the future.

But I do have one product called 'Ezine Editors List' where I only sell 6 months access to the database of Ezine Editors at any one time.  In other words, I suspend access to my customers after they've had six months worth of updates (or access).

Now with v3 Easy Download Protector™ I simply set the Extended Options so that their account expires 6 months after purchase.  Of course they receive an email to alert them to the fact that their account is inactive at that time and encouraging them to re-purchase my product.

But in addition, I also have EDP set to remind them 2 weeks prior to their access terminating and then 1 week after they have actually been suspended.

Once set up, the entire process is automated and I see the same customers coming back to purchase ongoing access.
 


Inactive accounts are now automatically grayed out
Now you can see at a glance from the customer list page whether certain accounts are inactive. This might be because you've manually unchecked the account active box in order to temporarily suspend an account without deleting it or it could be that the v3 membership expiry function has automatically suspended the account. Here's how it looks:



Use your own ClickBank affiliate ID to earn money

With earlier versions of Easy Download Protector™, every time one of your customers reaches your password challenge page they would be presented with the opportunity to find out more about EDP and when they click that link they're brought to the EDP sales page.  However, in the past this was always a direct (non affiliate) link to EDP, but now you get the chance to enter your own ClickBank affiliate ID and earn money whilst using Easy Download Protector™.

 


 

Note to existing v2 Easy Download Protector™ owners, find this feature under 'My Details', remember to hit SAVE and re-upload your merchant.pl file to make active.
 



Select the style of date listing that works for you
In the past Easy Download Protector™ automatically used the US style of dates consisting of Month/Day/Year.

It's completely inexplicable why the USA ever adopted this format. It simply doesn't make sense and now we've extended the capability of Easy Download Protector™ to allow you to use the US format, the UK format of Day/Month/Year (used by the UK and most of the rest of the world) and the International Format of Year/Month/Day. Simply select from the drop down box:


 



Last method of listing customers now remembered for future
Now when you select to list your customers by date, name or email address, Easy Download Protector™ remembers your selection, even after you've closed your browser window (based on a cookie dropped on your PC), so that when you re-login to Easy Download Protector™ at a later time, your preferred listing selection is automatically used.
 



Browser Title Bar now confirms that you're logged in
Just to clarify that you're logged into your Easy Download Protector™ account, the browser title bar now displays your account information as in this example below:



Minor Login Bug Fixed

It used to be that if you tried to login to Easy Download Protector™, but mistyped your password, Easy Download Protector™ would remember the incorrect login and then prevent access after the correct details were entered. This bug has been fixed in v3.
