The DLL is able to change the license file, e.g. add a new module or change the values of a license. As this is quite handy when you make a new update which provides a new module, it is also a possible option for an hacker if he has stolen the PSK/ReadKey.

 

If you are sure that you will never modify your license file using a DLL call with SetVal / AddModule / DeleteModule, you can protect the content of the license file by using the <AllowSetVal>No</AllowSetVal> in the project file or setting this option in the  additional settings page within the License Generator. This blocks modifying important information via SetVal like adding new licenses or modules.

 

Activation Keys can be used any time but a hacker would not be able to modify the license file using the licprotector.dll (even in case of stealing the PSK/Read Key) and make a generic program to modify license files.
