And as a paid service, i have spend several amount of US dollars to have the ALGAS up and running but all to no avail. despite this the License4J company did a lot effort to ensure that my product license has been hosted and managed on the Online-License4j server. Thanks to the support team. A big thank you to Mr Mehmet Yilmaz for his relentlessness support to ensure that My software License is Manage by License4J.
