Instantaneous Purchase & Activation

GameShield's In-Game Activation

GameShield's In-Game Activation transforms the standard trial-to-purchase process into a hassle-free, immersive experience for customers of game publishers and online sellers. Utilizing GameShield's License Manager and Plimus BuyAnyware you have the ability to provide one-step, customizable purchase and activation to your customers. You can choose to use our own pre-built licensing interface or create your own, but either way you provide customers with an easy way to move from trying your game to buying your game.

Old Trial Experience vs New Trial Experience

You no longer need to redirect your customers away from your game download to outside payment checkout web pages, or make them type in activation keys manually to unlock their newly purchased game. Instead, using GameShield's In-Game Activation feature, the purchase and activation steps can be rapidly completed within the game download or within the game itself in just a few clicks! This truly immersive experience means that you can realize higher conversion rates and increased revenues and reduce shopping cart abandonment.

Single Click Solution

Once your customer has filled in their payment details, the payment confirmation and product activation are all completed instantly within the game environment, and "presto" the game is ready to play. Because GameShield manages your game's trial license and will automatically unlock the game for your customer (by injecting the serial number in the background) there's no need for your customer to re-download the game or type in a product key once their payment has been confirmed.

Customize As You Like

Customer prompts can be added and changed as you like. The HTML templates are ready for you to use, or you can choose to create your own, to fully realize your own vision of instant purchase and activation (e.g. you may choose to communicate new offers to the player/purchaser at the start up and shut down of your game).

You also have the option of programmatically integrating purchase and activation truly within your game, not just within your game download. For instance, using GameShield's COM component you can include purchase options within your game menu! It's all possible using GameShield!
