Licence Protector 5
Licence Protector 5 offers a unique technology to use a standard USB flash drive 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 flash drive can be used. You can send out the USB flash drive with the license file or the customer can use his own USB flash drive. If a USB flash drive 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 flash drive.
If a module with a license per PC is used, the usage of the USB flash drive can be limited to a specified number of PCs.
