In other embodiments, distributor, software development tool provider, affiliate, and partner relationships with third parties are provided. In further embodiments, a coupon, up-selling, or special offer mechanism, an online software store, a site license server, a software developer's kit (SDK), including an application programming interface (API) are provided.
