Licensing Service UBuild makes use of this service to authenticate and communicate License information between our database and the UBuild app. This service is a RESTful API which is secured using a unique token and a 24-character-long, session-locked and private password. Even though this service is considered "safe" and "secure", no personal/private information is ever sent to this service. This service will only authenticate and respond with basic license information (see Commercial Profiles ) . Authentication UBuild authenticates licenses via our own UBuild Licensing Service, this service authenticates licenses based on a static token given to the license holder (ex: MyCompany_dsf8sfd) and a session-based password. The app will first request a session-based password using the static token, then from that point on use that token & password to authenticate further sessions. You can activate UBuild on multiple computers using the same token but each will be issued a different password to define the session. Commercial Profiles UBuild will be customized to reflect your commercial license in the form of a Commercial Profile. This profile will be used to store your company name, logo and website link to display within UBuild. This will allow the app to feel more "native" when used within a commercial environment with your company's branding and name. Emailing Service UBuild offers an emailing service to Commercial License holders, this service allows license holders to avoid setting up/using their own emailing service to send UBuild notifications by letting us do the sending for you! Instead of having to configure each project's email/SMTP settings, you can simply configure where to send it (Project configuration file > "EmailTo") and enable it within the Build Preset (Project configuration file > "BuildPreset" > "SendToEmail") and we will send you notifications via email regarding your builds. If you would like to avoid using this service feel free to follow the regular steps (see more here )
