Elite EL Drive - Distribution of Green Software

Demand
A good many software developers protect their software products from piracy with dongles. Development phrase almost comes to an end after exquisite encryption solution has been designed and deployed. Next is distribution of software. CD is a popular way among most software developers to distribute their products and dongles will be additional requirements for those who use dongles to protect their software. However, the more things users need to learn, the harder for them to use the software. Though we could neglect such a situation, we cannot ignore all the software developers especially those who have their oversea clients because it is not easy to express a CD to the other hemisphere, which needs to be taken into account.

Solution
The focus is that a bi-functional storage device is needed, which has functions as common dongles and can automatically operate as CD.
Elite EL Drive is such a typical software protection device that perfectly combines the dongle function of Elite EL Std with mass storage flash chip and the two independently works at the same time without any interference to the other.
Software developers can flexibly design encryption solution based on its Elite EL Std. The flash being initialized has four partitions: CD-ROM, Public, Secured and Hidden. Software developers can put ISO files into CD-ROM partition to realize auto-operation of software after inserting the device. Distribution of green software is achieved when deploying the above solution with only one Elite EL Drive dongle.

Most dongle products in market recently support Code-Port technology, which significantly enhances strength of protection and costs more time and efforts as well. Is there a solution for software developers to cut time cost in selecting codes, porting codes and construct algorithms in software against piracy? Or cut down the development cost with spending less time in anti-piracy project?

Solution
The focus is how to achieve the goal of maintaining a superior protection against piracy while cutting down the cost of software itself or shortening the cycle of deploying the encryption solution. Then we recommend CLAVE2, for its easy for developer to handle and takes no more than 30 minutes to complete the whole encryption, is an ideal dongle solution to meet the above need.

CLAVE2 has a 1920-byte non-volatile storage area which can retain the stored information without power supply. It can also be used as a data storage device, preserving critical data required by running software in the memory. As these data are essential for operating software, which could never works normally without CLAVE2. In addition, a "Secured Tunnel" in communication with device is set up by CLAVE2 using AES algorithm. Furthermore, the random interference solution which avoids crackers from getting effective information by data monitoring, is applied to enhance superiority of protection.

Answer
Clave2 Basic is the key to make it true.

A New Breakthrough in Software Protection

To set up the expiration dates of licenses, a reliable data source is essential for securing the accuracy of time in case malicious users distort in the OS. And it gives an extraordinary importance to the independent clock devices like EL Rtc, for it has no validating communication between the dongle and computer that guarantees the time is unchangeable from outside. However, the battery life determines that no eternal solution for those software users require sustention longer.

After thousands of experiment, engineers of Senselock made a breakthrough on power usage from different kinds of rechargeable sources and successfully applied on the new model of real-time clock device, EL Rtcc. Its last digit stands for abbreviation of “Chargeable”. The hotspot of EL Rtcc is to support accuracy of clock over min 5 years without plugging in a running computer that defeat most of current similar products in the market at present.

EL Rtcc, has the same technical performance as EL Rtc and a unique attribute which could be repeatedly charged & discharged. For EL Rtcc adopts internal LDO power-supply management. When connecting EL Rtcc with computer, its internal power-supply management automatically switches over to external power-supply, which charges the battery simultaneously. Get to know EL Rtcc.

Structure of WinCE Stream Driver

WinCE stream driver specifies a sort of drivers, that IO according to the mode of stream. In fact, only the driver interfaces are alike stream operations. For instance, stream operation has the following interfaces: CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile, seek. And for WinCE:

Xxx_init

Xxx_open

Xxx_read

Xxx_write

Xxx_seek

Xxx_iocontrol

Xxx_close

For WinCE driver that already has the above interfaces, while using CreateFile (“XXX1:”) to open the device handle or WriteFile() to send data to device or ReadFile() to read out from device, the operating system will automatically invoke the responding interfaces from the driver.

CreateFile("xxx1:") -> xxx_open

WriteFile() -> xxx_write

ReadFile() -> xxx_read

Build Low-risk Software Rental & Sales – Real-time Dongle

Demands
The conventional sales model of software has been evolving gradually as the competition is getting intense. According to the forecast from industrial experts, one-off authorization sales will be replaced by the membership which will be charged in times and tries. If the software vendors can seize and utilize the trends, they will be rewarded greater advantages with close-to-user, lower-user-risk sales strategy.
 
Solution
Embedded real-time dongle can easily build a new model for software vendors that supports installment sales and rental. By choosing such a solution, it dramatically decrease the purchasing (trial) risk of end users. In addition to empower the competitiveness, no extra risks of damaging interests will come upon software vendors.
It is achieved by accurate time limitation and network middleware. When a license is expired, the device will self-lock automatically. Once the receivables is confirmed, the software vendor can use the network middleware to implement remote authorization on target devices.

Case
In China, some software vendors have managed to deploy such sales model and modified the distribution into direct sales. YuanYang Tech, Co. Inc. use our solution to make it work in business. After the deployment, end users only need to pay hundreds to get license worth thousands, only with using time restricted. It increase the market share of such software in comparison with other competitors.
