Why do I need to protect my
software? |
|
|
Worldwide, the unauthorized copying, use
and distribution of software are a continuing source of concern.
According to the IDC and BSA (Business Software Alliance) 2004 global
software piracy study annual losses to the industry are nearly
$29-billion. By protecting your software, you prevent the unauthorized
use of your intellectual property, and secure your revenues. Shopkeepers
lock their shops and install alarms to protect their goods. Your product
is no different. |

Why should I protect with HASP HL? |
|
|
The
price of your software reflects the time, resources and efforts you put
into delivering your customers a working tool that answers their needs.
High-quality software is a target for software pirates who sell the
applications for one-tenth of the price on the black market. When you
protect your software with HASP HL, your assets are secured by a
hardware component with unsurpassed security. HASP HL encrypts your
software, incorporates anti-debugging features and ensures that no one
can use, sell or distribute your software without your permission. |

|
How does HASP HL protect my
application? |
|
|
HASP HL
protects software against piracy and illegal use, by allowing access and
execution of the protected software only when the key is connected to
the computer. HASP HL keys contain a highly secure, impenetrable
encryption engine. During runtime, the protected software sends
encrypted strings to HASP HL which decrypts the strings and produces a
response that cannot be imitated. If the response from HASP HL is
correct, the application will run. If HASP HL isn't connected or its
response is incorrect, the application will not run. HASP HL uses the
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) from the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST).

What is AES and how does it enhance
security in HASP HL? |
|
|
HASP
HL uses the Rijndael algorithm which was chosen in October 2000 by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES). Rijndael, a public symmetric algorithm,
replaced the DES algorithm, which was considered the standard. The
strengths of Rijndael are: simple, elegant design, efficient, fast
performance on modern processors, and compact in hardware – all of
which make it suitable for a broad range of applications. Considering
future advances in technology, and barring any attacks against AES that
are faster than key exhaustion, AES has the potential to remain secure
well into the future.

How do I benefit from HASP HL? |
|
|
HASP HL
not only protects what's rightfully yours, it can also boost your
business. By using HASP HL you can implement innovative sales models
such as pay-per-use, concurrent users, demo, rental, subscription and
more, all of which help you reach more potential customers and expand
your sales channels. HASP HL protects your software no matter how you do
business and the Protect Once – Deliver Many™ concept of HASP HL
saves development time and increases your market opportunities. |
|
|
|
|
Will my customers benefit from HASP
HL? |
|
|
Your
customers will benefit from HASP HL by having the opportunity to try
your software before they buy it, using it in demo mode, and paying only
for the features they really need and use. Customers will be able to
receive your updates quickly and remotely without having to send keys
back to you. |

What is the Protect Once –
Deliver Many™ concept? |
|
|
Protect
Once – Deliver Many™ is an innovative approach introduced by Aladdin
in the HASP HL system. This concept dictates total separation of the
protection process and the licensing process, taking into consideration
that these two processes are performed by different people or
departments in your organization. Developers use HASP HL tools to
protect the application concentrating solely on applying the best
security strategies. They need not be concerned with sales or licensing
issues. Once the software is ready for release,
marketing/sales/operation managers use additional HASP HL tools to
define sales models, determine licensing terms and package the
application into various offerings, completely separate from the
protection process. This procedure can be repeated multiple times
whenever there is a need for new offerings or when new business
opportunities arise. The result of this separation ensures total
independence between the development group and those groups in your
organization responsible for the commercial aspects of your products.
This independence can provide quicker time to market, immediate
responsiveness to business opportunities, and increased end-user
satisfaction. |
|
|
|
|
Does HASP HL offer a license
management system? |
|
|
License management is at
the heart of the HASP HL system. Whether you're protecting a single
application or multiple modules and features, licensing is executed
automatically by the system. You can protect and license up to 112
applications, modules or features with a single HASP HL key. Each
license can count software activations, limit use of the software by
date, or limit the number of users running the software concurrently in
network environments. License terms are defined per protected
module/feature. |
|
|
|
|
What is your solution for
multi-users in the enterprise? |
|
|
ทWhen your
application is running on multiple stations in network environments,
your customers don't need to connect a HASP HL key to each station.
Instead, protect your application with the Net model and send your
customer one key. A single HASP HL Net key can be connected to any
station on the network and monitor multiple users, according to their
agreement with you.
