According to the 2018 Global Software Survey from BSA, the commercial value of unlicensed software worldwide is a staggering $46.3 billion. An equally distressing statistic: 37% of all software installed on personal computers is unlicensed. Find out how KEYLOK prevents your software from becoming part of this rampant underground market.
Software piracy takes two forms: unintentional and intentional.
- Unintentional Software Piracy: Overuse and copying without malicious intent is a common form of piracy. Very often, busy managers inadvertently fail to ensure that usage corresponds with the number of purchased licenses.
- Intentional Software Piracy: This includes businesses that knowingly buy fewer licenses than needed and use illegal copies to reduce costs. Far more damaging are criminal organizations that crack expensive software products and sell them on the black market. Individuals often acquire cracked copies via the web.
How KEYLOK Keeps Your Software From Being Copied and Pirated
KEYLOK creates a relationship between the software being distributed and the dongle through API inclusion, automatic software protection, or, for greatest protection, both. During runtime, your application checks for the presence of a dongle with a valid license. In the event your software is distributed for unlicensed use, it fails to run without the dongle, so you vastly reduce the risk of both intentional and unintentional unauthorized use.
KEYLOK offers these key advantages:
- In minutes, use our robust sample code to integrate copy protection into your applications.
- Multiple dongle form factors and features sets means there is a dongle right for any situation
- On your legacy products, use our sample code archive to protect your older systems
- Custom Branding turns keys into an extension of your brand and makes for easy identification
- Industry leading sales and support won't hinder sales and distribution of your software
