![]() The checking procedure will be distributed in time and it will be not easy to find all conditions for valid key.Īndrew, dont do it. Ok, I can do something other - simple messagebox that will appear in 2-3 minutes if key is not fully right. it is really not good because software will look like instable. It is very hard nut for hackers because it is almost impossible to find the reason of instability, but. ![]() This covers you when you're at a customer site and you forgot your key or can't activate for some reason - at least you're not locked out of your >legally ownedinconvenienced< and NOT be able to use my legitimately owned software whenever and where ever I may be. ![]() Losing the key wouldn't be so devastating as it is now (LAWD the time I couldn't find my Lightwave key for a couple of days!) since you'd (hopefully) have the crypto files backed up ready to be reinstalled onto a new usb key.Īnother thing I'd like to see become a standard among software companies is a 5/15/30 day grace period when you CAN'T (RE)ACTIVATE your application for some reason. I could just see having my Photoshop, Lightwave, XSI, Procoder and others all on this key - ONE key instead of a hand full. ![]() ![]() These files would most likely be small, a coupla K or so - a hella cheap 16 or 32 meg usb key could hold tens to hundreds of these soft-crypto keys. Natually the usb key would be volume encrypted and require a password once connected so if lost someone wouldn't just have a field day with all your keys! Actually what I had meant to say was hardware key instead of software.Īll usb dongles have programmable resources on them - my idea is instead of using dedicated Hasp or Rainbow keys (have you seen Softimage's dongle - lawd, thing has a clock on it and everything! ) to be able to have the software company provide you with some kind of cryptographic data file that unlocks their program - these files would be copied to your usb key. ![]()
