USB security dongles vs. Software encryption.

A world-class software solution requires world-class protection. License terms are often not worth the paper they are written on. 

Well-designed software protection effectively prevents illegal use or multiple use of your software. It also ensures the integrity of your applications, protects against tampering, and increases customer confidence in your products. Effective software protection also enables flexible licensing solutions that help you distributing your software efficiently and securely, both online and offline. Keep in mind that strong software protection is a cornerstone of your organization's long-term success and security.
