More than half of the world’s computer users admit to
using software in a way that breaches the software’s
license agreement
The majority of software developers incur revenue
losses from the use of unlicensed software that amount
to at least 10% of their revenue
Experts estimate about $63.4 billion of annual revenue
is lost to the software industry

How it works
ProtectionWhen an application is
being protected, its code gets a number of modifications that protect it against
analysis and reverse engineering and other
illegal actions from users
ActivationTo activate the
protected application, a serial number is
required. This number also defines the
applicable license terms. Activation
includes binding of a serial number to the
hardware parameters to provide a better level of protection
Use ControlVia the personal area, usage statistics can be accessed at anytime and changes can be
made in the conditions of the license (editing
the serial number)
