Web Based Anti-Piracy System
Preventing piracy has remained one of the main concerns for the
software developers across the world. Different schemes have been
devised to prevent the piracy, but none of which guarantees a full
proof protection from the software piracy. In the internet economy
most of the products are going to be Internet based, 'Web authentication'
is a service which will help software developers to effectively prevent
the copying of their products. The system is devised in a way that
it prevents any type duplication in any form. The system is architect
around on a unique key exchange algorithm, which disables all the
copied versions of the legal software.
e-Zest has come up with the very innovative solutions for the online
business community and software vendors.
The Web Authentication For Software Vendors
The software vendors who are shipping their products incur heavy losses
because of piracy problem, some intelligent vendors opt for shareware,
and online Locking and Key concept, smarter ones gives their registration
keys as mail, or in any other media. But the Smartest vendors opt
for the solution that is just as secure as your Bank jewelry.
The major drawback that all the previous techniques are having is
that once the user is given the Key, its all set for piracy. But our
very architecture ensures that the Owner of the Software must have
the Original media, and Registration Key. Our architecture ensures
that there should be only one running copy of the software per license.
If it is found that more than single copy is running, then software
alerts the software vendor, and the decision is left with the Vendor,
for Locking the any of the running copy(Or both!).
e-Zest has developed the new Technology for Tracking the authenticated
product Online. It comes in the form of a plug-ins (An ActiveX) that
is to be integrated with the distribution software of the Vendor.
There are different settings that this Architecture contains for
each
1. Software Product Vendor
2. Software Vendor's distributor
3. Software Reseller
4. Software Customer
The vendor can be customized as per the business need of his vendor.
Vendor can have the multiple choices, either of making the security
Options
1. Monitor his product
2. View the number of installations
3. View the number of installations, Number of products running at
any point of time
4. List the suspected user of Pirated software
5. Block the pirated copies.
6. Ask the re-registration in case of Doubt.
The software vendor can customize the web-Companion ActiveX in following
2 ways:
A. Install Time checks.
1. Install time Online Registration (Reqd./ Not Reqd.)
2. Install time Check for the Same Copy if Running elsewhere.
B. Run time checks.
1. Period for the next Online Check.
2. Action to be taken if pirated copy found.
3. Anticipatory mails, alert messages.
4. Self Identification Information of Client.
Using the e-Zest Web Authentication Tool You can Track each software,
number of active users,
The software vendor can get the information of suspected users of
his software, he can enable/Disable his software effectively from
the Internet.
