Dongle Driver Problems

Dongle Driver Problems


Developers are sick of reading and answering the same questions every day in emails or on forums. Normally they was getting over 10 emails a day asking the same questions that were covered in the forums.

Almost all software vendors that are using dongles have to create a page on website about troubling shooting of dongle problems, actually 90% or the dongle problems are caused by dongle driver.

Customers are just tired of seeing the same thing over and over...

Returned Dongle errors

l Dongle not found
l Can't Find the Dongle
l Dongle driver is not installed
l Dongle driver error
l Cannot open dongle driver
l USB device driver not installed
l LICENSE KEY ERROR

The problems caused by dongle
l When you attach the USB dongle, if the light inside the dongle goes on and then turnes off immediately In that case, you have to download the latest dongle drivers from the related website. As the dongle driver is old and not compatible with the current window version. Installing the latest dongle driver has already resolved USB dongle problems on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
l If the dongle driver did not install correctly during the system installation, you need to update or re-install the dongle driver Version:
The below message is given whenever the applications simply cannot find a dongle - whether it be a standalone or network device. Generally when this message occurs, users need to check a number of things:
Check if the users have installed the drivers correctly.
Try installing the drivers manually
l The inconsistence of the dongle driver version and the software version may cause problem as well.
l The conflict between the dongle and certain recent versions of the McAfee and AVG virus scanners also occurs dongle driver problem.
l Occasionally, USB dongles are not being recognized in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
l In rare cases, software fails to install the driver and new users need to run the dongle driver again.
l USB dongle devices are detected when they are first plugged in, but sometimes Windows will mark a device as bad if it cannot find the right drivers for it.
l Installation seems to hang while installing dongle drivers under certain circumstances - though it hasn't actually hung - it just takes several minutes to complete. Tt's unfortunately the drivers cause the delay and but not the software.
l Software vendors normally recommend to install the driver before connecting USB keys. If, however, uses have connected the USB key first, they may encounter problems with the dongle driver installation.
l An incorrectly installed dongle driver can produce license error messages. The dongle driver is a piece of software that communicates between IDL/ENVI and the hardware key attached to USB port. If an IDL-based product produces a dongle licensing error message, the dongle driver may need to be re-installed or updated."

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.

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

On hardware-based software licensing key

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.

How UniKey Hardware Keys Help Us Improve The Product’s Security.[By Michael Ricci]

How UniKey Hardware Keys Help Us Improve The Product’s Security.
Better security through UniKey

When we began work on the UniKey security keys (http://www.esecutech.com/), our Engineers were to find a device that would be an adequate deterrent to software piracy thefts. While we understand that complete security is impossible in open systems like PCs, we wanted to make it hard enough to break that would-be hackers would look elsewhere.

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.

In an effort to show that UniKey security keys were more than smoke-and-mirrors, I submitted an article to my blog that gave significant details on how the UniKey USB security key worked (http://softwarecopyprotectionsecuritykeys.blogspot.com/). There are some real ferrets out there.

I was not disappsointed. UniKey responded with a variety of suggestions and judgements. The most common response we got from UniKey support team is that there is a technical support ticket system to help me work with them. While there are many articles at their website www.esecutech.com/ indicating how easy it is to integrate the keys, the articles I read assume that your questions are available. In our case, the questions are not available.

Let's assume that enterprising intruders are able to analyze the data on the USB bus, collect a sufficient number of values, and apply the appropriate effort to determine the key values. Is the usefulness of the UniKey over? Not really. An intruder cannot use information to clone another key.It is impossible (even with that information) for a program communicating with a UniKey by using the correct keys to change the key values on the device. The keys are not stored in memory that can be accessed by any program, even if it knows the keys. The bottom line is that this approach cannot change a hardware key for product A to be modified to become a key for product B.

UniKey dongles are driverless dongles and 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 API protection scheme ensures the highest security for software vendors.

We appreicate the HID technology which let us forget the dongle NOT FOUND problem of other brand dongles, and we also appreciate the review and feedback we received from UniKey technical support Team and other UniKey end users. It help us a lot to improve our software’s security. The software development customers don't have to change the code with Unikey envelop secuirty technology, and the security is improved. We aren't so naïve as to believe that UniKey provides an unbreakable solution, but we do believe that the time and effort required to crack and bypass the security is sufficiently high that intruders will look for easier targets.

SecuTech Solution Inc. offers several ready license protection solutions along with UniKey. UniKey takes the role of hardware ID and works as the container of digital credentials. UniKey Software Protection System provides a completed set of tools and samples for software vendors to control their software's distribution.
