4. Support News

Final Reminder: New Support Policy

Once again, we wish to remind you to renew annual subscriptions before July 31. After that date, subscription renewal will no longer be feasible without paying the full re-license price.

We have previously sent email and newsletter notices requesting that you renew support subscriptions before this new policy takes effect. Some of you have either expired support subscriptions or no support at this time, however, without a current support subscription; you will not be eligible for technical support or any new downloads.

Having current support subscriptions will help you save hundreds or thousands of dollars. With a valid support subscription, you will not miss out on our soon-to-be-released .NET-compatible version 7.0

We strongly encourage you to renew your license(s) immediately to take advantage of technical support, downloads and new product releases. To renew, please go to http://www.crypkey.com/support_options.asp.

Why Protect Your Software?

Software piracy remains a persistent threat to developers. You may know when, where and how many copies of your software are sold, however, you cannot know who is utilizing your software or how many illegal copies exist.

Reliable software protection is important because …

• Global software sales lead to piracy threat. In many countries, copyright laws do not protect software. This results in pirated software being sold for a mere fraction of the actual cost. You may sell only one or two copies of your software in a country where hundreds or thousands of copies are actually in use.
• Vertical markets are major targets. If you are in a vertical market, you can't afford to lose sales through unauthorized use of your software. Your market is limited and each lost sale is significant. Using a copyright notice is like putting up road signs without police to enforce the traffic laws. If the opportunity exists to copy your software, copy attempts will be made. The more expensive a program is, the more copying occurs.

Technical support. CrypKey products require little support and they use friendly methods no more obtrusive than your own software. If a customer gets a CrypKey-related call, it's normally because the software is not supposed to run. This presents a sales opportunity for you, rather than an annoying support problem.

Sharing software. With CrypKey protection, you can feel confident about encouraging your users to share your software. You can design your software to run in limited demo mode until purchased, then offer a free automatic, limited-time trial period or grant a trial period that you authorize. Users are free to copy your software…but only on your terms. CrypKey solutions make shareware obsolete by permitting totally secure software sharing.
