bb-app.cz is the service domain operated by bitbreeze s.r.o. bitbreeze applications (e.g. Tagra) use it to validate their license and to download updates and language packs. This page is informational – for users of the applications and for network administrators who need to know what the applications communicate.
Everything runs automatically in the background of the application, no user configuration required.
The application validates its license at start-up and then periodically, including the number of computers it may be used on.
The customer fills in an order or renewal on the bb-app.cz website, which the application opens in a browser.
The application detects that a new version is available and offers to install it.
Application texts in all languages are maintained centrally. At start-up the application downloads the current translations for the selected language, so fixes and new languages do not wait for a new version.
Coming soon add-ons and downloadable materials according to the purchased license.
An overview of the addresses the applications communicate with and the data they transfer. All communication is outbound from the application; the applications do not open any inbound ports.
