CrypKey .NET Protection

CrypKey Instant & CrypKey SDK With .NET Compatibility

CrypKey SDK 7 supports true client/server network licensing. In the past, CrypKey protected software from unauthorized use by licensing the computer that application was installed on. Today, CrypKey is designed to license an entire network. A software license can now be shared with any computer on a network without needing a shared drive. This means that a client can use an application anywhere on a network without needing to know where the license is stored.

Some of the other leading innovations of CrypKey SDK 7 include:

•	an application can act as either a license server or a license client with little or no programming
•	automatic restart of servers upon reboot
•	support for an unlimited number of redundant servers
•	unprecedented control and flexibility of the license server; in addition to number of network seats, CrypKey has added the ability to specify domains, computers, and users that can or cannot use a particular license
•	the license client is not required to connect to a server’s drive or know where the license resides on the network; a priority list of servers to check when searching for a license can also be set

The new Enhanced License Transfer feature of CrypKey SDK 7 is designed to give customers a library-type model of “check-in and check-out” license usage. A user can now temporarily check out a license when the software is needed and then return it to the pool when the application is no longer required. CrypKey SDK also provides the only licensing system that allows a license to be migrated to a computer where no license existed before. License transfers can be initiated anywhere on the network.

The ability to migrate a license in and out of a license pool has many end user benefits. It is useful in situations such as when:

•	an employee wants to take a license home and then bring it back to the office the next day
•	an information systems (IS) department wants to check out licenses to employees for a particular project and then return the licenses to the pool after the work is complete
•	a field employee needs to take a license on a laptop to a remote job location and then return the license upon the job completion
