UniKey Product：
UniKey is the #1 hardware-based driverless software protection solution provided by SecuTech Solution Inc, aiming to offer the best software protection and licensing solution for software vendors to raise income by reducing software piracy, managing software licensing and control.

UniKey Time
--- The first real time driverless dongle on software licensing market
UniKey Time hardware key is specially designed for software vendors who needs to control and manage the software’s rental and selling in subscription or maintenance, it allows to pay per use, in this way software vendors can completely control the sales by charging the end users timely and periodically. This function is based on a real time clock deposited in the dongle indicating the specific time (hour, minute, second) and date (day, month, year).

UniKey PRO
--- Flexible, powerful and easy with various licensing
The most advanced system available for protecting software running in network environments concurrent users. A single key connected to any station in the network limits up to 65535 concurrent users. UniKey PRO provides lifetime warranty. The user-defined algorithm can easily have UniKey envloved with protected software and increase the security.
Unikey STD
--- The most cost-effective, powerful and easy at attractive pricing
UniKey STD is the standard version of UniKey Dongle. It provides full set of functions, and enables a strong software protection for software developers
UniKey STD is the most cost-effective software protection key. Ideal to license a large number of components or require metered licensing. It works at standalone with only one remote update user.

Economic downturn may lead to more software piracy

Economic downturn may lead to more software piracy

It seemed that the recession caused by this economic downturn is not beyond our expectation at all, on the contrary, we have an uprising of applications of evaluation kit from the beginning of year 2009.

The customers felt the recession would ultimately result in greater instances of software piracy. Some of them said they felt software piracy would definitely increase.

The economic downturn may lead to the increased use of illegal software, says the Federation Against Software Theft (Fast), who found that 79% felt businesses would be more likely to try and save costs by not being appropriately licensed, although it's not clear whether they were admitting their own temptation.

The most effective, and legal, way of reducing software costs is to introduce a software right management system. .The only way to stop software piracy before it happens is to implement a strong software system solution to protect your software from unauthorized use. Effective software protection and licensing solutions not only protect software from piracy, but decrease operational costs and allow for an increase in revenue through effective protection method and flexible licensing models.

UniKey Hardware Keys are a software rights management solution that protects software vendors from unauthorized use or distribution of their products

UniKey Hardware Keys are a software rights management solution that protects software vendors from unauthorized use or distribution of their products. UniKey hardware Keys help Software vendors combat the continually evolving threat of software piracy, which is more widespread and more sophisticated than ever before.

Secure Communications
UniKey Hardware Keys are the most secure HID hardware key available in the world. A unique encryption key is used for every communication session between the application and the hardware hardware key, making brute force attacks virtually impossible. UniKey hardware keys include internal authentication, which effectively prevents cloning of the keys.

Quickly Add Protection - UniKey Shell
With the UniKey Shell, you can enhance overall security by adding multiple layers to thwart hacking attempts, preventing memory dumping and protecting against debuggers. The UniKey Shell enables you to embed licensing and protect your application in minutes, even if don't have access to source code. The UniKey Shell offers a way to quickly add protection and obfuscation to your application without requiring any alteration to the source code.

Speed Implementation - UniKey APIs
The best implementation of any protection scheme should include complete integration into your application through APIs. By using UniKey APIs, you can obtain the highest level of security and control over sophisticated license designs without spending time on lower level programming. UniKey APIs are pre-configured, higher level APIs for popular license models such as subscription, evaluation and pay-per-use. The UniKey API lets you customize your protection and insert calls to your protection keys throughout your application source code.

Real Time Clock (RTC) Hardware Key – UniKey Time
The on-board clock allows you to reliably and securely offer time-based license models such as trial, demo or subscription. A clock is stored inside the hardware key, offering a non-repudiated time source and the highest level of protection against time tampering.

With UniKey Time Keys , you can meet your customers' needs for flexible time-based licensing while protecting your revenue streams. UniKey Time hardware Key also allows end users to place timestamps (hours, minutes, seconds) and date (day, month, year) on the output of an application for definitive time recording purposes.

License Across Networks
The network version of UniKey Hardware Keys protects client-server applications and provides server monitoring to track and manage license usage on the network.

Protect Multiple Applications
UniKey Hardware Keys allow you to protect multiple applications with a single hardware key. You can also add protection for additional applications at a later date without altering the existing security structure.

Multiple Development Environments and Platforms
UniKey provides you with the ability to protect applications created in numerous development environments. Sample code for the most popular environments is also provided, such as Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft .NET to get you started on custom applications. With UniKey you can support your application on multiple operating platforms with a single development effort, further reducing development time and cost.

Simplify Updates and Activation
UniKey APIs also include Logical Addressing which allows developers to add or change implementations without being concerned about specific memory address usage. This greatly speeds development time as well as reducing risk of error from overwriting information in memory cells.

With UniKey Hardware Keys, you can also program multiple keys at once and customize license models at the production stage. License configuration can be altered without requiring further development changes.

Flexibility to update UniKey hardware keys remotely: A powerful Remote Update System sends encrypted and RSA digitally-signed license terms to users — ensuring secure updates of keys and licenses in the field.
