SOLUTION - BYTESHIELD™
ByteShield™ Dynamic License and Copy Protection Engine for Application Software and Game Vendors is the first solution which combines end user friendliness with strong copy protection
ByteShield™ revolutionizes how application software and game vendors can generate revenue by providing Dynamic Licensing. The application software or game can be available on CD or as a download. The end-user has a choice of many types of licenses (as set by the publisher) such as full feature trial, try to buy, variable length rentals, rent to buy, subscriptions or purchase. He/she can change the license choice at any time. Finally, an illicit copy of the application/game can open with a prompt asking the end-user to become legit and chose a license, creating a new sales opportunity. Such Dynamic Licensing is only possible with strong copy protection and user-friendliness. Existing software copy protection solutions are either user-unfriendly or easily circumvented or both. ByteShield™ excels on both.
ByteShield™’s revolutionary design avoids the weakness and vulnerabilities of existing solutions and their negative effects on the user experience. Without extremely strong and efficient copy protection, these capabilities cannot be delivered. ByteShield™ takes full advantage of the Internet, employing a central server to manage the protection and verify the license. ByteShield™’s system design enables our product to be transparent to end user and so time consuming to crack that the incentives for the crackers disappear. To remove ByteShield™’s protection system, the cracker needs to reverse engineer the entire protected application. A single or a couple of patches will not suffice to open up the application to copying or tampering. Everything is intertwined and interdependent. The result is a truly unique and superior patent pending technology, which dramatically increases revenues for the publisher.
ByteShield™ elates the publishers by:
Adding revenues from reduced piracy, up-selling and full feature trial versions Reducing costs for support services and update/patch delivery Enabling them to distribute full feature trial versions with full control of use, without fear of piracy Not disturbing the product development life cycle at all as protection is added to the application after the development is finalized Providing a highly automated and fast protection process for protecting binaries, even in frequently changing distributions Allowing changing the license parameters on the fly for a particular customer Providing data over sales by channel Providing very flexible and dynamic licensing Giving them a direct, regular channel to communicate to end users
and the end users by:
Making the license completely portable and independent of the delivery medium Being in essence invisible – an honest user with auto login turned on, will never notice ByteShield™ Not causing any degradation in the performance of the application/game Always being in compliance with the software license – Audits are not necessary Providing (for corporate customers) reports on usage
and slow down the crackers by:
Not allowing them to see the entire application/game Making it self-defeating to tamper with the license call Keeping every installation unique and changing over time – the code is always a moving target Crucial pieces of the code delivered only after license verification Repeated verification and code delivery, making it almost impossible to circumvent the server
