PRO-Tector Flash™

Standard USB flash drive copy that can protect your software - but at 30% less cost than a dongle!

Just use PRO-Tector Flash™ and a standard off-the-shelf USB flash drive to protect your application. You get dongle-strength software copy protection … without the need to buy and maintain an inventory of custom dongles.

Just look at all the advantages of a PRO-Tector™ enabled USB flash drive vs. dongles:

• Higher reliability – Solid-state RAM USB flash drives. These have an MTBF (mean time between failures)of 1 million hours!.
• Increased flexibility – licensing models can be quickly and easily modified to meet the needs of your different customers.
• Twice the storage capacity – holds 150 licenses with up to 10Kb of application memory. Also it still works just like a standard USB drive with the storage for your applications too (4 Gig and climbing!)
• An off-the-shelf solution – eliminates the need to manage an inventory of dongles or tolerate shipping delays from dongle vendors.
• Lower cost – up to 30% less than dongles with lower support costs too.
• Freedom of choice – PRO-Tector™ is available as both a hardware (USB flash drive-resident) or software-based software protection solution.

PRO-Tector™ technology enables software publishers to price, package and protect their software in a variety of flexible ways. Publishers can electronically generate, track and enforce their software licenses, further protecting against unauthorized use by implementing a range of product activation or copy protection options.

By using PRO-Tector™ licensing to turn software features on and off, publishers can easily create evaluation, lite, standard and premium product versions from a single binary file. Publishers can also use PRO-Tector™ licensing to sell software any way the customers wants to buy it. This flexibility enables them to use subscription/leasing and usage-based models to offer software as a service.

The SDK has over 50 license management functions and is designed to make counterfeiting very difficult. It also supports Visual Basic, Visual C++ and C#, Microsoft's .NET, Borland Delphi along with Macromedia Director and MS Office. PRO-Tector™ also supports many other development languages with a range of comprehensive tools in the SDK.

Developers can use PRO-Tector™ Flash Secure USB Drives especially prepared. Alternatively, for smaller volumes the PRO-Tector™ Flash Dongle Creator Utility can be used to make 'off the shelf' drives. OnlyPRO-Tector™ Flash Secure USB Drives are covered by the support contracts.
