Copy protection - how it works

 

Licence Protector MAC Edition offers a media independent protection - the media itself like CD / DVD, download link or USB flash drive is not modified or protected. The copy protection does not prevent, that you can copy the data from CD to the hard disk or duplicate the CD, but it prevents that the application can be started on multiple machines or that the Serial Number can be used twice.

 

Copy protection links the license file to a hardware specific item. The user can not move the application from computer A to computer B because the hardware identifiers that are used for copy protection will be different on another machine.

 

The place, where the license file is stored, is used to determine the hardware information

 

If the license file is stored on a local hard disk, then the System ID is used
If the license file is on a USB flash drive, then the hardware ID of the USB flash drive is used
