Texterity Announces Site Licensing Program for Digital Editions
Back to list.

February 10, 2009 

SOUTHBOROUGH, MA -- February 10, 2009 -- Texterity, Inc., a leader in digital publishing solutions, today announced a new site license program for its magazine partners. The new program enables site licenses for public libraries, corporations, and other organizations wishing to offer publications in digital edition format to a larger audience.

"The Site License program is a boon for publishers looking for new revenue sources," stated Cimarron Buser, SVP, Texterity, Inc. "The program will support audit reporting per the BPA Worldwide proposals or ABC rules. We also include consulting to make sure that the technology solution matches the publisher?s need, as well as matching site license agreement templates."

The Site License Program provides several methods for authenticating users. Full tracking and reporting of usage is provided, as well as contract templates to assist customers in creating their license agreements.

End Users can access all content without any plug-ins or downloads of any kind. Only a standard web browser is required, which decreases customer service issues and enables use of the content on virtually any computer with internet access.

Texterity offers the following Site License methods:

  • IP Address Range Access. This new method enables all users within a given set of IP address ranges to access content. This is ideal for libraries and corporate site licensing.
  • Domain Access. This approach allows a membership or association group to create an internal landing page on a "secure area" of their site behind a login system. Any members successfully authenticating will be granted access.
  • One Time Use Access. This system grants a "one time use ticket" to a user based on the right granted from either a login or e-commerce transaction. The system is highly secure and the URL used to access content can only be used once.

Texterity's new Site License Program makes it easy for magazine publishers to offfer their content in a number of ways beyond standard individually requested paid or controlled subscriptions. Texterity is the only digital edition provider to make all of these methods available to publishers, in addition to allowing full control over printing or downloading of content. The system fully supports Texterity's powerful "Subscriber Management System" and "Look Inside the Magazine" features.

Pricing is based on a per-site fee and can be applied to any Texterity digital edition publication. Existing customers should contact their Texterity representative for more information and a pricing schedule.
