Multimedia Protector offers copy protection with all the advantages and flexibility of a software solution. However, there are some situations where a hardware protection makes sense.

 

•Using one single license on multiple PCs and no online connection is available. The user can move the license from PC A to PC B using the USB-Stick

•Deliver a complete application on a USB-Stick  - ready to go without the need to activate the software

•Marketing reasons - instead of receiving a CD, the user gets a USB-Stick with additional value for him

 

Multimedia Protector offers a unique protection feature using a standard USB-Stick. The license is bound to an individual criterion of the USB-Stick (different for each stick), which cannot be copied. It supports all the license options of a single user license like

 

•Evaluation options

•Multiple Modules

 

and additionally the option to define,

 

•on how many PCs the USB stick can be used or

•how many users can start the application

 

This is a very handy feature as you can control the usage of the stick.

 

The USB-Stick solution is much better than a Dongle:

 

•It is favorable - the price is only a fraction of the price of an Dongle

•The customer could even use his own USB-Stick. You can send out a Serial Number and activate the license on the USB-Stick using Online, E-Mail, Fax and phone activation. This is important if you deliver in multiple countries and shipping hardware is difficult

•In case of a hardware failure you can instantly issue a temporary license, where the license is stored on the local PC

 

Multimedia Protector combines the advantages of software copy protection with the advantages of hardware protection!

 

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, Windows Vista and Windows 7

 

SD cards are not supported. They do not have a unique ID.

 

This feature is available only in the Multimedia Protector Premium Edition.
