WinLicense x32/x64 加密保護工具

WinLicense combines the same
protection-level as Themida with the power of advanced license control,
offering the most powerful and flexible technology that allows
developers to securely distribute trial and registered versions of their
applications.

WinLicense is a powerful protection system
designed for software developers who wish to protect their applications
against advanced reverse-engineering and software cracking. Developers
do not need any source code changes or programming experience to protect
their applications with WinLicense.

WinLicense uses
SecureEngine® protection technology, which is able to run its code at
the highest priority level to implement never before seen protection
techniques; this protects any application with the highest level of security.

Here are just a few of WinLicense’s protection features:

The main objective of WinLicense
is to cover all current vulnerabilities in software protection. Most
software protection programs claim to be the perfect solution against
cracking, but this is far from reality. In the following list, we
present the two main weaknesses in most software protectors and how WinLicense covers them.

•  Obsolete protection techniques:

Normally, software protectors use obsolete protection techniques that
can be easily defeated with newest cracking tools. Even the newest
software protectors are just a copy of older software protectors with
just some new and not-very powerful techniques against software
cracking. WinLicense uses a new and very advanced
technology that detects any possible cracking attempt of an application
and ensures each application is uniquely protected to avoid general
attacks.

•  Restricted execution by the OS:
Current

software protectors can only run their code with a “normal” privileges
level. This means that they cannot implement advanced protection
techniques which can only be executed in Kernel Mode, the highest
operating system priority level. WinLicense runs parts
of its code in Kernel Mode to implement the most advanced techniques
against modern cracking, making it a unique protector.

WinLicense offers the
widest range of options and features to create both trial and registered
versions for an application. Developers can communicate with WinLicense to check the current state of the trial or registered versions of their application through a complete SDK. WinLicense
also offers the capability to automatically handle all possible
situations, such as when an application expires, a license is corrupted,
etc., saving developers from including extra code into their
applications.

Some of the most important licensing features included in WinLicense are:

Many

license managers seem very easy to use to add trial and licensing
support inside an application. Then, when the developer needs extra
licensing features or extra protection to protect sensible trial data,
they get frustrated with the license manager that they use. In many
cases, even amateur programmers that don’t have knowledge in cracking
and reversing tools can easily reset the trial period in protected
applications. WinLicense was developed specifically to cover this vulnerability.

In the following, we present the main weaknesses in current license managers and how WinLicense solves them.

•  Rigid License registration:

Most license managers define the way that an application can be
registered, offering limited ways to license an application. This forces
developers to adapt their applications to the licensing system that
they use, instead of the license manager adapting to a specific
application. WinLicense offers multiple ways to license
an application, fitting into any kind of program without limiting the
developer’s ideas to license his/her applications.

•  Limited SDK to control the trial/licensing status:

Most license managers offer a limited set of SDK functions to interact
with the license manager. Subsequently, developers are limited in
implementing their licensing ideas due to the lack of a function in the
license manager. WinLicense exports more than 50
functions with its SDK to allow full control over the trial/licensing
status in an application; many of these functions will give ideas to the
developer for adding extra features into the application.

•  Easy resetting of the trial period:

Many license managers look very attractive and appear to be good
solutions for creating trial periods in an application. The problem
appears when a developer protects an application and realizes how easy
it is to reset the trial period in the protected application by using
cracking tools, leaving the trial application totally unprotected and
open to infinite use. WinLicense offers the strongest
solution available to store the trial period in a system through a
complex engine called Trial Storing Manager®. This engine makes it
extremely difficult for attackers to reset the trial period in any
protected application with WinLicense.

•  Weaknesses in machine-locked licenses:

Many license managers offer support to lock a license key to a specific
machine. To get the ID for a specific machine, they rely on specific
Windows registry keys or common Windows API to get hardware information
about a machine. This presents a major vulnerability in locked license
keys due to the possibility of manually changing the machine ID and
running an application that was locked to another machine. WinLicense
is aware of that vulnerability, so the machine ID is obtained directly
from the hardware using the SecureEngine® Kernel Mode technology.
Attackers are unable to manipulate the real machine ID in their
computers, so they cannot run applications that were locked to another
computer.

 

If you are in software development, be it something as simple as a
shareware programmer or a position as high as a project manager, you
need to protect your software. While estimates on how much money is lost
annually from cracking and fraudulent use of software vary wildly, the
point is that money is lost…not just money, but your money. All software
developers need to take steps to protect their programs from being used
illegitimately; let WinLicense do that for you.
