ShareGuard Copy Protection
-
Version
1.5
ShareGuard: For Shareware developers who want to
protect their software. Consists of 4 components: (1)
ShareGuard Lock (2) ShareGuard Key (3) ShareGuard
Locksmith (4) CRC Check. (1) ShareGuard Lock is the
program that protects your software from reverse
engineering and from being used longer than the
specified demonstration period. This is called by your
software and is displayed to the user to notify them
of the current demo status (e.g. 10 days left). It
will also display a splash screen if desired. You
create a JPG or BMP and it will display your
logo/favourite picture WITHOUT ANY CODING. (2) Key
Program that YOU sell to your customers (optional
method) - Allows your users to register the software
using one of your valid certificate numbers. The
ShareGuard Key program that users will buy from you
will prevent the ShareGuard Lock program from
displaying the demo status form. Typically a user will
have to enter a certificate number that you will
provide for them. After the certificate is validated
the software is unlocked. (3) Locksmith Program allows
YOU use to build your lock(s) and key(s). Many
different options to allow customization of your
methodology. You can build AND TEST (with your
application even), a working lock and key within
SECONDS without reading the manual. ShareGuard
Locksmith generates message notifying you of possible
problems, generates test code and code (C++, Delphi,
Visual FoxPro, Visual Basic, VB.NET and more to
come...) for you to cut and paste into your program.
(4) CRC File Checker is a DLL which performs a Cyclic
Redundancy Check on files to ensure that they have not
been tampered with. You will load the DLL and then
check to ensure that the Lock program has not been
modified.When the Lock program is called it will
automatically check your software to ensure that it
has not been modified. Protects from reverse
engineering. ShareGuard works with ANY programming
language.
