PC Tools Provides Tailored Solutions to Ease Reseller Portal Use

Business Wire, May 25, 2007

SAN FRANCISCO -- Leading security software vendor PC Tools today announced its response to reseller feedback, by creating flexible activation code transactions on its reseller portal, ultimately leading to an increase in resellers' earning potential.

"PC Tools have tailored the reseller portal to make it more efficient in meeting our partners' needs," said Troy Vertigan, Vice President for the Global Reseller Business.

"The reseller portal has added two key enhancements to improve the reseller experience and earning potential, representing a new and flexible approach for PC Tools' Reseller Business," said Vertigan.

Resellers have indicated a need for greater flexibility when purchasing activation codes. As a result, PC Tools no longer restricts resellers to purchasing a large set of activation codes. Resellers can now purchase as little as 5 activation codes.

"This means resellers are no longer required to hold large inventories of activation codes; freeing up reseller capital which will ultimately assist resellers to grow their business," said Vertigan.

PC Tools has also responded to reseller feedback by enhancing the activation code registration roll-out and implementation process. Resellers can now efficiently register activation codes online via their own password-protected console or by consumers registering the activation codes themselves directly through a publicly-accessible website.

"PC Tools is listening to its reseller partners and has tailored the portal to their needs. By combining a flexible approach to the quantity of licenses resellers can purchase, along with easy registration of activation codes online, resellers now have endless earning potential," Vertigan said.
