Some Features of the ProtectKit3.5
Password protection is available in VB.NET
/C#.NET (.NET Framework 2.0 and above) for both 32 bit
applications and 64 bit applications.
Password protection supports 64 bit operating
systems.
Password protection can be used on 64 bit operating systems (both
32 bit applications and 64 bit applications supported)
Password protection supports 64 bit
applications.
Password protection can be used with 64 bit applications.
Supports Windows 8.1
ProtectKit3.5 protection can be used in Windows 8.1 / 8 / 7 / Vista
/ XP / Server 2012 / Server 2008 R2 / Server 2008 / Server 2003
Supports digital signatures
Digitally signed applications can be protected with the
ProtectKit3.5.
Special hardware is not necessary
The ProtectKit3.5 protects your applications from unauthorized
copying without the need for any special hardware. Because the
ProtectKit3.5 is a software based copy-protection solution, there
is no need for dongles, usb locks, or other hardware. Protected
applications will run on desktop PCs and on laptops.
No additional runtime costs
The ProtectKit3.5 is runtime license free. This means that a
registered user of a ProtectKit3.5 PC developer license can protect
as many different applications as they wish and deploy an unlimited
number of each application without any additional costs, fees, or
limitations
A direct impact on your bottom line
The ProtectKit3 increases your sales because copies of your
software that are not authorized by you, will not run until you
have authorized them. It is as simple as that. No more pirated
software. Every copy of your protected application that is
currently being used will have been paid for. This will have a huge
and direct bearing on your revenue and ultimately on your bottom
line.
ProtectKit3.5 protected applications can be
deployed in exactly the same way as your regular
applications
Applications protected by the ProtectKit3.5 can be distributed in
the same way that you have always distributed your applications
(CD-ROM, Floppy Disk, Email distribution, Internet download, etc).
Because the ProtectKit3.5 protection is embedded within your
application, there is no need to change the way you deploy your
applications.
The ProtectKit3.5 can detect when unauthorized
copies of your software are running on a local network. (Not
available for .NET applications)
When copies of your protected application are running on a network,
by using Network protection, you can detect and control how many
instances of your application are running. What is more, you can
verify if they are authorized and disable applications when they
are not.
Using the ProtectKit3.5, you can rent or lease
your applications
Because you have the option of allowing renewable passwords, you
can authorize your application to work for a specific period of
time or number of uses. After that has been exceeded, the
application will be locked until a renew password is generated. By
setting "number of use", "number of days", or "number of months"
protection with renewable passwords, you have the ability to rent
or lease software.
The ProtectKit3.5 retrieves a hardware signature
from the PC that is running your application
The ProtectKit3.5 uses a combination of a lockword and the hardware
signature where the application is running to create a unique
password. Even after the application has been unlocked on one PC,
if that application is copied to a different PC, it will not run.
The ProtectKit3.5 allows you to determine what combination of
hardware will comprise a unique hardware signature (CPU,
Motherboard, Videocard, NetworkCard). This gives you added
flexibility when protecting your application. In addition to this,
if your enduser's system crashes and they must format their hard
drive, as long as the hardware signature has not changed, the same
password will unlock your application on the new hard drive. There
is no need for the enduser to request a new password from the
application vendor.
3 ways to generate passwords
The ProtectKit3.5 provides you with three types of password
generators so that you can provide passwords to your users
seamlessly. The password generator EXE is a runtime password
generator that doesn't require any programming. Simply enter the
lockword and the hardware signature (PcID) from the enduser's
machine and you can generate the password needed to unlock that
application ON THAT MACHINE. The password generator OCX and DLL
provide a programmable API that allows you to generate the needed
passwords programmatically. The Email API gives you an easy
seamless way to send the generated passwords to the enduser so they
can unlock the application.
