Licence Protector offers a unique technology to use a standard USB-Stick as a 'Dongle replacement'. Now the times are over where you have to decide whether to use a software copy protection or a Dongle.

 

The big advantage compared with a dongle is, that nearly any standard USB-Stick can be used. You can send out the USB-Stick with the license file or the customer can use his own USB-Stick. If a USB-Stick can be used or not depends on the fact, if the manufacturer has added a special information like a kind of a Serial Number of the USB-Stick.

 

If a module with a license per PC is used, the usage of the USB-Stick can be limited to a specified number of PCs.
