Protect-n-Forget (PnF) technology  

                                                    

Too many copy protection and volume licensing systems have failed to find the right balance between ease of use and security.

Step too far in one direction, and the software becomes so aggressive that it invalidates licenses in reaction to superficial changes to the PC, meaning that software will fail to work after the user updates Windows or reformats the hard disk. Emphasize ease of use at the expense of security, and the software becomes so pliable that users can easily crack it.

Protect-n-Forget (PnF) technology uses a patent pending technology that finds the right balance, protecting both your intellectual property and the end-user experience.

Protect-n-Forget technology even allows the end users to replace the motherboard or reformat their hard disk without invalidating the product license, leading to lower support overheads. Yet at the same time, it is a hardened copy protection tool.

Software crackers frequently use one of the programs that tracks where copy protection software stores your license information so that they can manipulate it. PRO-Tector prevents that, because there are no copy protection license files accessible on the User's hard drive.

Neither does it store license information in the registry. That means that people seeking to crack your copy protection can't remove all references to your program and infinitely renew free trial periods or restore a removed license.

PRO-Tector does not require a connection to the Internet to monitor licenses either so it prevents hackers but it doesn't inconvenience the end users.

PRO-Tector’s patent pending Protect-n-Forget (PnF) technology solves the problems that other copy protection technologies fail to address. By enabling you to protect your software even in the event of hard disk reformats, Windows re-installs and system board replacements, the technology provides a robust protection mechanism that won’t inconvenience your end-users. And with easy registration using either application-based activation over the Internet or via a web page, it is easy to deploy.

Protect-n-Forget (PnF) offers a solid return on investment by protecting you from the costly failures of other Anti-piracy software solutions.

 

These include:

 

Unscrupulous end-users.

One common trick used by less scrupulous software users to get around other vendors’ software activation mechanisms is to call and claim that they lost their license due to a system failure or hard drive reformat. Because these vendors’ copy protection systems are not designed to cope with these events, they are forced to award a license to these users, costing them significant amounts of revenue.

 

Software thieves.

People will sometimes call a company to claim a refund for software that they have not removed from their system, or will copy the software using a disk imaging system such as Norton Ghost. Protect-n-Forget (PnF) technology prevents piracy via disk-imaging and also has a unique tool to check End User’s machines to ensure that Software licenses have been removed.

Unnecessary license invalidations caused by inadequate protection mechanisms.

Other software protection mechanisms can invalidate licenses due to superficial hardware or software changes - Windows is a prime example of the failures of most types of copy protection technology deployed today. This forces customers to re-license their software. This damages your company’s reputation and drives up your support costs.

 

Extra implementation costs
 Some other protection mechanisms are difficult to integrate into your software and hard to deploy online. Server-based solutions that require you to implement preset scripts often create problems for ISP's who have their own policies on what they will allow to run. If these solutions do not cater for cross-firewall access, your support costs will once again increase.

Protect-n-Forget (PnF) technology survives all issues with software security that the rest can only dream about. That's why we call it second generation!

 

Ultra reliable - Not affected by:

This means that your end user client will be a very happy user, your support department will no longer be flooded with re-licensing calls and there will be no reason for users to try to get FREE licenses unfairly.
