Protection methods

Bios identification – protected program will run only on the computer with specific identification code which is defined during protection process. This code can be obtained with GUARDID utility, it isn’t stored into protected file and it’s used for all encryption.

Auto install – at the first time protected program can be run on any computer but after that it will work only on that computer.

No identification – protected program can run on any computer but it’s still protected from reverse engineering.

Remote – this method can be used for remote licensing of your software. When protected program is executed it will show dialog box with 32-bit number which is computed according to data from the motherboard bios. This code can be transferred from your client to you by phone, fax or e-mail. With it you can than calculate corresponding activation key (32-bit number) and pass it to your client.
