_Protection Techniques

The aim of protecting a software application is to defend the overall investment of time, money and effort which has gone into its development.

With the HARDkey.NET protection system you will be able to protect your software utilizing two different techniques, either the interactive or the automatic mode.

The interactive mode consists in incorporating inside the program, a set of protection function calls which are found in the kit provided. This method provides you with greater key control as you will have access to the non-volatile memory contained within the protector. This memory may be used to store program parametres, customized features, counters, etc. It will allow you to obtain customized protection that fit your specific needs and programming skills. This method is highly recommended for the protection of executable files when the source code is available and to protect website access.

Automatic protection may be implemented for any precompiled application from a utility that wraps the file incorporating the elements that carry out the hardware key check. This method is most suitable when rapid implementation is required or source codes are not available.
