Why we should protect our software?
Nowadays protecting software form
illegal copy and distribution is important. Row materials of
software production are knowledge, time and money, which spend
on it. You can copy your software enormous times easily.
Governments trying to protect software producer's rights by
legislating copyright lows. Even with this lows statistic shows
illegal copying is high, for example in Germany 87% of users
illegally use software copies. Software producers try to protect
their software by copy protection mechanisms and registration
mechanisms.
Shetab SoftLock designed to
protect your software from illegal use; it even gathers
important data from your customers, and uses internet or phone
line to collect registration information. You can more than only
a protection.
Protection
methods we have three
deferent methods for software protection.
Dongles
Dongle is a device that plugs
in a computer port and software only works if the dongle
validate the software.
Dongles are hard to crack
(depend on the dongle price). Dongles are expensive, so they are not
suitable for most software, in this method you do not collect any
information from end user. You have to send dongle with your
software and it restricts you online sells.
CD
Locks
In this method,
data stores on CDs by specific techniques so CD is not copy able by
regular CD copy programs.
This method is
cheep but it is not reliable because we have many copy programs that
can copy these CDs, and if your CD copier program cannot copy it
only wait for newer version or try another one. In this method, end
user cannot backup his/her CD and if for any reason CD corrupts,
he/she should buy another one. Like dongles you can't collect any
information from your end user and you should send CDs physically
which restricts your Online sells.
Internet
Locks
In this method,
software gets necessary permission from a specific site and runs
properly in client computer.
Now days Internet is
available for most users this method is cheap and if you use it
correctly it is hard to crack. Most useful characteristic of this
method is its ability to collect end user information, like E-mail,
name …; you can sell your software over internet with out any
problem.
DLL base software
protection
In this method,
you need to change your source code to call needed protection
functions so you should be familiar with programming. You should be
check DLL accuracy before calling these functions, because any body
can replace your DLL with fake one.
You cannot
protect your exe files directly because you need to change you
source code. Because you do not use any code ciphering, it is easy
to change assembly code, and you cannot protect your resources like
Images and sound files.

Distribution
management

acts better? Did your advertisements have an acceptable result?
Which cities are a potential market? Did your end user uses your
software and who is he?
