Using a USB flash drive (flash drive) as a Dongle replacement

Contents

Licence Protector MAC Edition offers software copy protection with all the advantages and flexibility of a software solution. However, there are some situations where a hardware protection makes sense.

•	Using one single license on multiple PCs and no online connection is available. The user can move the license from PC A to PC B using the USB flash drive. The online connection is required only for the initial product activation.

•	Deliver a complete application on a USB flash drive - ready to go without the need to activate the software

•	Marketing reasons - instead of receiving a CD, the user gets a USB flash drive with additional value for him

Licence Protector MAC Edition offers a unique protection feature using a standard USB flash drive. The license is bound to an individual ID of the USB flash drive (different for each stick), which cannot be copied. It supports all the license options of a single user license like

•	Evaluation options

•	Multiple Modules

The USB flash drive solution is much better than a Dongle:

•	It is favorable - the price is only a fraction of the price of an Dongle

•	The customer could even use his own USB flash drive. You can send out a Serial Number and activate the license on the USB flash drive using Online activation. This is important if you deliver in multiple countries and shipping hardware is difficult

•	In case of a hardware failure you can instantly issue a temporary license, where the license is stored on the local PC

Licence Protector MAC Edition combines the advantages of software copy protection with the advantages of hardware protection!

The USB flash drive protection can only be used as a single PC / single user license. A network license is not supported as a PC cannot retrieve the hardware information of the USB flash drive when it is used on a server.
