All-In-One Protector 8

This Installation Code combines the Volume ID, MAC address and Hostname with the UNC pathname (details).

 

The combination of the several installation codes makes it significantly more difficult to configure virtual machines with identical hardware IDs.

 

Pros/Cons

+ Cheating is extremely difficult due to the 4 used parameters

+ If an image tool is used, the MAC address is still different

+ Good within a network because the MAC address must be unique

+ Allows only one installation on one machine

+ Works in single user and network environment

- Needs more often a re-licensing because of hardware changes

- See considerations for multiple network cards and subnets

- Restricted use in network environment with Windows 98 / NT machines

 

Recommendation

•Should be used for environments were heavy copy protection is needed and several installations on one machine should not be possible. Otherwise use installation code 9.

 

This code results in a copy protection error if the applications is started on the server AND on the workstation. It only works if the server is used as a dedicated server. Use code 1-3 in case of an problem.
