Licence Protector offers a unique technology to use a standard USB-Stick as a 'Dongle replacement'. Now the times are over where you have to decide whether to use a software copy protection or a Dongle.

 

The big advantage compared with a dongle is, that nearly any standard USB-Stick can be used. You can send out the USB-Stick with the license file or the customer can use his own USB-Stick. If a USB-Stick can be used or not depends on the fact, if the manufacturer has added a special information like a kind of a Serial Number of the USB-Stick.

 

If a module with a license per PC is used, the usage of the USB-Stick can be limited to a specified number of PCs.

 

Pros/Cons

+ Works always in single user environment

+ Customer can use a single user license on different machines

+ The number of machines, where the USB-Stick can be used, can be limited

- Only usable for single user installations

- Hardware is involved

- Not all USB-Sticks will work

 

For details how to use the USB-Stick see chapter: Using an USB-Stick as a Dongle replacement.

 

 

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 newer Windows versions like Vista. Windows 2000, Windows 98 and Windows 95 are not supported.

 

This feature is only available in the Professional Edition.
