USBKey A Hit So Far
Just released last month, CrypKey's USBKey, the flash drive licensing
solution for developers and end users who prefer a tangible software
protection solution, is a big hit thus far.
The size of a car key, USBKey is a simple and economical way to
protect software licenses. It plugs into any computer with a USB
port.
USBKey is the ideal license management solution for those who need
to move a license from one computer to another. It has a maximum
2GB storage capacity, compared to a dongle, which typically can
store only 128K of data. USBKey can hold an entire software application
and the license to authorize it. For more info, see our USBKey
product page.
Coming Soon: CrypKey Data License
Manager
Soon you will be able to copy protect and control Microsoft Office,
Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Acrobat or any data file, just like you
copy protect and control your executables. CrypKey is working on
development of a new product that will allow users to give a CrypKey
license to documents such as Help and Word files, thereby controlling
access to them.
The new product is expected to roll out in the near future. Stay
tuned for further details.
Maximize Your Support Options
To get the most from CrypKey technical support, see the following
support page on our website.
Tech Tip
Technical support has been seeing several -5 errors arise lately
when the CrypKey protected applications are being started via the
application shotcut. This is often because the application shortcut
is not set to start in the application directory. Do to the higher
occurrence of this problem the tech note of the month is to ensure
that your application shortcut is set to start in the application
directory. For more detailed information please email Support@CrypKey.com.
Customer: Honeywell
Honeywell International is a $23 billion diversified technology
and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace
products and services, control technologies for buildings, homes
and industry, automotive products; turbochargers, and specialty
materials.
Headquartered in Morris Township, N.J., Honeywell's shares are
traded on the New York, London, Chicago and Pacific Stock Exchanges.
Honeywell Limited, its Canadian subsidiary, is Canada's leading
controls company offering technology that enhances comfort, improves
productivity, saves energy, protects the environment and increases
security and safety. Operating in Canada since 1930, Honeywell Limited
employs 2,800 in more than 50 locations across the country.
Honeywell Limited is currently using CrypKey SDK (Software Developer
Kit) to license its Shadow Plant® product. Shadow Plant®
is a fully featured software suite for the process industries, delivering
a realistic replica of a plant. This replica can be used to evaluate
decisions, check engineering designs, improve performance, and train
operations personnel.
How is Honeywell benefiting from CrypKey license management solutions?
In 2001, Honeywell wanted to enforce a node-locked licensing scheme
but without a hardware dongle requirement. Without sufficient time
to design its own solution, the company initially utilized CrypKey
Instant, which allowed it to node-lock its main Shadow Plant®
executable without changing any source code.
For its next product release, Honeywell switched to CrypKey SDK,
which allowed the company to build CrypKey licensing checks directly
into its software code …and provide more flexible licensing
options to its customers.
This section is only available to CrypKey
customers.
