Our software product licensing system, iono - [login to view URL] - is completed web based (PHP/MySQL). We would like to provide a simple application to sit in the system tray (or equivalent) which pops up notifications
Requirements:
* Ability to connect using an existing administrator account.
* The application should minimise to the system tray (or OS equivalent) and provide a small popup window whenever a) an order is placed, b) an order is completed c) a license status changes (e.g. license is expired). The popups must be optional for each a, b and c.
* The interface must be very clean and tidy. I would like it to look similar to this example: [login to view URL] with the option to have the 'Office 2003' look and 'Native Windows' look.
At present there is no way to work with the iono data unless ou connect directly to the MySQL database. This is not the best way to do it so we would create an interface that could be used for the application to communicate with the web system. .
Finally, this project must include (basic) documentation and bug fixing support - if a user submits a bug we expect it to be fixed promptly. We use our own internal bug tracker system. Ideally, there should be a built in option to report bugs.
