Licence Protector 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-Stick |
• | Deliver a complete application on a USB-Stick - ready to go without the need to activate the software |
• | Marketing reasons - instead of receiving a CD, the user gets a USB-Stick with additional value for him |
Licence Protector offers a unique protection feature using a standard USB-Stick. The license is bound to an individual criterion of the USB-Stick (different for each stick), which cannot be copied. It supports all the license options of a single user license like
• | Evaluation options |
• | Multiple Modules |
and additionally the option to define,
• | on how many PCs the USB stick can be used or |
• | how many users can start the application |
This is a very handy feature as you can control the usage of the stick.
The USB-Stick 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-Stick. You can send out a Serial Number and activate the license on the USB-Stick using Online, E-Mail, Fax and phone 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 combines the advantages of software copy protection with the advantages of hardware protection!
The USB-Stick 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-Stick when it is used on a server.
The USB protection works only with Windows XP and Windows Vista / Windows 7.
This feature is only available in the Professional Edition.
