The Basics about Copy Protection

This feature prevents that the application can be run on different machines. It binds the license file to a hardware specific item.

The user cannot move the Multimedia Player from computer A to computer B, because the hardware identifiers that are used for Copy Protection will be different on any other machine - Copy protection does not prevent the copy process, but starting the Multimedia Player on non-licensed machines.

The place where the license file is stored is used to determine the hardware information of the machine.

•	If the license file is stored on a local machine, the hardware of the local machine will be used.

•	If the license file is stored on a server, then the server hardware is used (Volume ID, MAC Address, Hostname). When starting the application on a local machine within a network, Multimedia Player retrieves the server hardware even if the application is running on the local machine

•

If the license file is stored on a NAS drive (Network attached storage), then the hardware of the NAS is used (Volume ID, MAC Address, Hostname). When starting the application on a local machine within a network, Multimedia Player retrieves the NAS hardware even if the application is running on the local machine

Copy Protection can be used as an option. You can create a license without Copy Protection by just sending out an Unlock Key without Copy Protection.
