License portal

[DaRichMan]

I would like to know if its possible to build a software license portal for my customers.

What I would like is somthing like this;


And it would have to generate email alerts before the end of a license period.

Is this possible, and if so, would anybody be so kind to help me out a bit how and where to start?

Thanx in advance.

Isn’t it possible at all or does someone have some suggestions how to establish this with FormTools or another tool?

Hey DaRichMan,

Well, it would fit some of your requirements. In terms of data gathering - having the two tables (Customers + Purchases), that's no problem. And you can link the two forms together by having the list of customers appear as a dropdown field in the Purchases form.

However, automatic email alerts at the end of a license period can't be done "out-the-box". For that, you'd need some custom code written that would (say) run on a cron job and send out the appropriate email notifications.

There may well be other tools out there that would be a better fit, but I confess I don't know of any.
