How it works
4
Protection
When an application is
being protected, its code
gets a number of
modifications that
protect it against
analysis and reverse
engineering and other
illegal actions from users
Activation
To activate the
protected application, a
serial number is
required. This number
also defines the
applicable license
terms. Activation
includes binding of a
serial number to the
hardware parameters
to provide a better
level of protection
Use Control
Via the personal area,
usage statistics can be
accessed at anytime
and changes can be
made in the conditions
of the license (editing
the serial number)
