ByteShield
ByteShield revolutionizes how PC game and application software vendors can generate revenue by providing user and developer friendly software activation management. The PC game or application software can be available on CD, as a download or pre-installed. The end-user has a choice of many types of licenses (as set by the publisher) such as full feature trial, try to buy, variable length rentals, rent to buy, subscriptions or purchase. He/she can change the license choice at any time. Finally, an illicit copy of the application/game can open with a prompt asking the end-user to become legitimate and choose a license, creating a new sales opportunity. Such Dynamic Licensing is only possible with strong DRM/copy protection and user-friendliness. Existing software protection solutions are either user-unfriendly or easily circumvented or both. ByteShield excels on both.
