   If the FastSpring integration is already set-up, click on FastSpring to go to the FastSpring Configuration screen.

3. In the Connector Configuration screen, configure the following options:

   Confirmation Email

   If you would like to be notified of each FastSpring transaction processed by software_DNA, select the Receive Transaction Confirmation Email option. software_DNA will send an email to the Product_Contact person for this product with key information taken from the transaction.

   License Fulfillment

   Choose from two License activation code options: Immediate - "Just in Time" The DNA Server will create a new License Activation Code for this Product, reserve it and send it to FastSpring.

Adding FastSpring SKU’s to the DNA Connector

For each FastSpring SKU (configured in the FastSpring Product) that will use this DNA Product, you will add a SKU Configuration as follows:

1. From the FastSpring Connector Configuration screen, click on ADD Product SKU, or click on an existing Product SKU, to bring up the SKU Configuration screen:

   

2. Enter the SKU that you entered in the FastSpring Product configuration for this product / subscription. This can be different then the software_DNA Product SKU.

You would use different FastSpring SKU’s for the standard product versus an upgrade product in FastSpring, or for different multi-user seat settings.

Up to 25 FastSpring SKU’s can be configured per DNA Connector

3. If you have defined multi-user licenses in your Product Configuration, select the <License Seats> that will be used when generating or upgrading a License Activation Code for this SKU.

4. If you use Feature-based licensing, enter the default <license_data> that will be used when generating or upgrading a License Activation Code for this SKU (this field will not appear if you have not enabled this option).

5. Choose which option to use when an UPGRADE Transaction is received for this SKU:

   Update License Data Setting of License Code	The <license_data> setting of an existing License Code referenced in the FastSpring Transaction will be updated to the <license_data> setting of this SKU. If a <license_data> setting is specified in the FastSpring Remote License Generator, then it will take precedence over this setting.
   Update Seat Setting of License Code	The <seat> setting of an existing License Code referenced in the FastSpring Transaction will be updated to the <seat> setting of this SKU
   Update License Data and Seat Setting of License Code	Both the <license_data> and <seat> settings of an existing License Code referenced in the FastSpring Transaction will be updated to the <license_data> and <seat> settings of this SKU

6. If required, you can specify Override settings for this specific FastSpring SKU. Override settings will be used instead of the Default DNA Product configuration settings when generating the License Code for this transaction:

   • Check the Override Checkbox for the override setting to be used
   • The Prefix will override the <Prefix> setting of the DNA Product
   • The Expiration Period will override the setting of the DNA Product
   • The Language will override the setting of the DNA Product

7. Click on SAVE to save this SKU configuration

The UserPurchaseDate, License Activation Code, Buyer Email and the FastSpring TransactionID are stored and available for viewing in the Code View screen or for download from the DNA Control Panel under the menu Reports.

You can retrieve the complete transaction information directly from your FastSpring account at any time. Please consult the FastSpring web site for these options.
