Don't wait: This fabulous offer ends September 30, 2006!Discover How Casper Processes Licensing RequestsThe client side of Casper is called the Casper Wizard. It is bundled with your CrypKey-protected software and it runs on your customers' computers. When a software license is required, Casper Wizard asks your customer to send a request to Casper. Casper responds by generating a Site Key. Casper Wizard then presents a series of windows that guide users through the available options. The Casper Wizard interface is configurable if you call on it using CrypKey SDK. If you're using CrypKey Instant, the Wizard is standardized to work with Casper e-Register. For the Casper eCommerce option, the Casper Wizard changes to contain the credit card information, product code, and price. The Casper server receives software license requests via the Internet or e-mail messages that are transmitted by the client program. Internet messages transmit in real time, usually within 15 seconds. E-mail messages are also transferred quickly, however, their delivery is subject to the transmission speed of the e-mail server. Internet requests are not configurable; they happen automatically when the request is made. E-mail requests are checked at an interval that you specify in CasperWeb; the smallest interval is once per minute. Casper provides three options for communicating licensing information:

Still have questions about CrypKey Instant and CrypKey SDK? No problem! We invite you to browse our newly expanded FAQs page at www.crypkey.com/faq.asp. CrypKey Helps You Make the Right ChoiceCrypKey understands that you want a transparent and dependable copy protection and licensing control solution that is easy to manage. You've worked hard to develop a valuable product, and you want to protect your investment without incurring additional support and administrative headaches. Adding a copy protection and license control application to your product introduces new costs in the form of administration, development, and support. The greater the degree of security, the greater your costs. The technology required to provide software security on the end user system can be restricted by corporate desktop or network policy. Deciding how much security is enough and determining the best process to implement a copy-protection application can be risky and confusing. Using CrypKey protection in its most secure configuration generally requires that users have local administrative access to their computers during installation. If you choose to use CrypKey's optional Stealth component, it may not seamlessly integrate with the third-party components that your application references. In this scenario, you and your product engineers will work closely with us to resolve unforeseen technical issues. Through our ongoing diligence and years of refining our application solutions, we've created flexible products that strike a good balance between cost, security, dependability, and manageability. CrypKey recognizes that one size does not fit all. We're committed to informing you about all options, and we make recommendations about the best course of action to suit your requirements. In applications where implementing a full-security configuration is not practical or cost effective for an organization, we offer customized low- and mid-level security system solutions. Please contact us to discuss your concerns and requirements. Together we'll find a solution that's right for you. Industry News: Microsoft Invites Hackers to Take Their Best Shots at VistaAfter suffering embarrassing security problems over the past several years, Microsoft is inviting some of the world's best-known computer experts to try to poke holes in Vista , the next generation of its Windows operating system. In early August, Microsoft made a test version of Vista available to about 3,000 security professionals. The company detailed the steps it has taken to fortify the product against hacker attacks that can compromise sensitive information.
