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 API protection scheme ensures the highest security for software vendors.


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

SecuTech Solution Inc, the software security expert who provides UniKey software copy protection license control solution and free technical support or professional advise for customers.The UniKey dongle products(as known as USB hardware key)

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 dongles are available in Four models for USB port to meet different requirements,
there are UniKey Time ( Real Time Version), UniKey PRO (Network Version ), UniKey STD
(Standalone Version), and UniKey Lite (Lite Version ).
UniKey Time 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).

The main difference between UniKey PRO and STD is that UniKey PRO can accept up to 65535 remote clients, while UniKey STD can only work with one remote client.
