1. When the end user purchases your software, your InterLok wrapped product "phones home" through the Internet and connects with a secure web server.

2. After a secure hand shaking process occurs, the web server communicates with Satisfaction to determine if the user needs new authorization based on your policies and the user's previous purchases.

3. If this is a new purchase, the server passes the credit card information to a clearing house, which in turn communicates with the bank over a private financial network in order to process the order and deposit the funds into your merchant account.

4. Once the funds are deposited the web server asks Satisfaction to generate the user's unlocking KeyCode. This KeyCode can be machine unique (which binds the software to the user's system) or generic (transferable like a serial number).

5. Once generated, this KeyCode is delivered back to the end user transparently via the Internet or e-mail.

* Note that your sales and customer support team can provide phone unlocks via the Satisfaction application's easy-to-use graphic interface. The Satisfaction database can even be shared between your web server and multiple employees.
