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 API protection scheme ensures the highest security for software vendors.

A question that regularly was come up is whether software could be one hundred percent secured by a dongle, or thought some dongles have been seriously cracked, why most expensive software still use dongle as their software protection solution? The truth is, most developers used the easiest way-enveloper to encrypt the application, which is the least method to use a dongle to protect software. Actually UniKey API protection scheme is the right way to ensure the highest security for software vendors.
UniKey dongles are available in standalone, network and real time. Using a software developer’s kit, software developers can protect applications with the right hardware key by calling for the dongle’s presentation.
UniKey provides two methods of protection schemes, envelope and API. UniKey Enveloper is automatically wrap up a program with only a click by a mouse, it is the fast way to protect executable files without needing for the source and additional coding work,
To ensure the highest security, the API implementation is strongly recommended by SecuTech’s experience technology expert, Raymond Chaw, ‘we have been helping customers to integrate UniKey and their software successfully with API application, I hope that our work can help software vendors gain more on revenue and reputation’, said Raymond.
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of routines that an application uses to work with the operating system, allows data and messages to be encoded or encrypted so they can be stored and transmitted securely. With the help of UniKey API, software developers can easily achieve strong software protection and produce complicated software protection schemes via various combinations of the UniKey APIs.
We provide abundant APIs to operate the UniKey dongle. All the APIs are implemented in a DLL/LIB file. In the SDK, software developers can find samples in various programming languages.
UniKey API is easy, secure and portable. If a DLL is required for development language, the appropriate DLL(s) can be copied to the same directory as the sample source code.

Software Piracy , Software copy Protection & Security
What is Software Piracy?
Software piracy is the unauthorized duplication of computer software. Although most computer users today are aware that unauthorized use and duplication of software is
illegal, many show a general disregard for the importance of treating software as valuable
intellectual property.
According to the BSA (Business Software Alliance) and IDC 5th Annual Global Software
Piracy Study, revenue losses due to software piracy have increased and were nearly $48
billion in the year 2007.
Types of Software Piracy
Softlifting: purchasing a single licensed copy of software and loading it onto several
computers contrary to the license terms. For example, sharing software with friends, co-
workers and others.
Uploading and downloading: making unauthorized copies of copyrighted software available to end users connected by modem to online service providers and/or the Internet.
Software counterfeiting: illegally duplicating and selling copyrighted software in a form
designed to make it appear legitimate
OEM unbundling: selling standalone software that was intended to be bundled with specific
accompanying hardware
Hard disk loading: installing unauthorized copies of software onto the hard disks of
personal computers, often as an incentive for the end user to buy the hardware from that
particular hardware dealer
Renting: unauthorized selling of software for temporary use, like you would a video.
Why Protect Your Software?
Developing a software application involves a major investment of time, money and effort.
Software piracy (including illegal network licenses and unfulfilled upgrades) denies you
the revenue you deserve and harms your paying customers, who ultimately bear the cost of
illegal use of your products. Piracy limits your ability to be competitive, leading to higher-priced, less advanced products for your customers.
Intellectual Property Protection.
Strong intellectual property protection for software is an important part of any nation's eeconomic growth and development, and has numerous benefits:
Encourages individuals and businesses to create new software and new software
applications, as well as improving existing applications
Encourages an indigenous software industry
Ensures new ideas and technologies are widely distributed
Promotes investment in the national economy
Encourages technology transfers between nations
Increase your sales potential
With increased revenues, you are free to invest more in improving your product and
offering competitive prices, making it more accessible to a wider customer base.
UniKey, the Driverless dongle, reduces the huge work of technical support team for
software vendors.
Unikey has the lowest industry failure rates in the industry which is guaranteed with
lifetime warranty.
Unikey technical support team earns the highest rating of customer satisfaction in the
industry.
Unikey products cost about

On hardware-based software licensing key (USB dongle hardware key for software license management)

Software license is that the software publisher grants a license to use one or more copies of software, but that ownership of those copies remains with the software publisher. One consequence of this feature of proprietary software licenses is that virtually all rights regarding the software are reserved by the software publisher. Only a very limited set of well-defined rights are conceded to the end-user.
Software License Types
Individual licenses
Individual (Single-user): This license type allows the software to be used on only one computer which is not accessed by other users over a network. The other users are not allowed to use software while connected to your computer. Types of individual licenses are:
Perpetual license: allows the customer to install and use the software indefinitely without any limitation.
Subscription license: Allows the user to use the software for a specific time period. At the end of the term the user has several options: (1) renew the subscription; or (2) purchase a perpetual license at a discounted cost; or (3) remove the software from the computer.
Trial license: Allows software venders to release the software for a period time like a month as marketing tool. The end user can only use this software for only one month.
Evaluation license: This license allows the expensive software to be evaluated with certain period.
Demo license: This license allows end users to demonstrate the software with partial function or certain period.
Feature based license: This license allows end users to use partial function of the software to save money than to use the whole package.
Time limited rental license: This allows the end user to pay per time. The end user pre-pay a period of time that fits their needs. The end user can also renew before the license expired.
Concurrent Use: This license type requires the end users purchase licenses for the maximum number of people who will be running the software simultaneously. However, end users can usually install the software on more computers than
Network/Multi-user licenses
Server (Network): Licensed per server – This license type requires that you have a single copy of the software residing on the file server
Per Seat (Machine): Licensed per machine/seat – This license requires that you purchase a license for each client computer and/or device where access to services is needed. This license is typically used in conjunction with a network license.
Add-on’s to existing or new licenses
Upgrade: This license is acquired when a user has a previously acquired software license and would like to move up to a newer version.
Student use:This allows students to use the software as long as they are students of the institutions. Students are required to uninstall software upon leaving the University.
Secondary use: Allows the licensed end user to use the software on a second computer.
Work-at-home rights: Allows Facult/Staff to use software at home. This is effective for as long as the primary work computer is licensed and as long as the person is an employee. Termination of employment also terminates this benefit.
Home use: Similar to Work-at-home rights
How hardware based software license key works?
In order to improve the relationships between vendors and customers as well as grow revenue, software pricing and licensing policies are made more flexible. Hardware keys are made to feature secure software licensing options and offers multiple licensing molds locked into the hardware key to supply flexible licensing protection. Such as HASP from Aladdin, Sentinel from Safenet, UniKey from SecuTech.
Hardware key or software protection dongle is the hardware-based protection and licensing management tool. It is a USB key with memory that protects software against piracy and illegal use by allowing access and execution of the protected software only when the key is connected to the computer.
The hardware keys provide licensing method with envelope-base automatic implementation and API-based automatic implementation.
The only thing that would make hardware key better for software license management is if there were an industry-standard way to store multiple software licenses on one physical dongle (and transfer them securely if need be). Public computers could have those software installed on them at no cost to the business providing the computer, but they would only work when someone presented a valid license via their dongle. And the end user would never have to think about moving the licenses to a new computer or losing valuable software when they dispose of the old one.
