ProtectDISC - CD/DVD-ROM Copy Protection Solution

ProtectDISC is a unique copy protection system for Publishers that use CD/DVD-ROM media. A unique fingerprint applied to the CD/DVD-ROMs during the manufacturing process enables the ProtectDISC software components to differentiate original from copied CDs/DVDs.

Probably the most powerful copy protection on the market, ProtectDISC secures your software against:

• Duplicate the original CD/DVD - the copy will not work and the software will ask for the original CD/DVD. No CD/DVD burner/software combination is physically able to write the mass manufactured unique fingerprint.
• Copy the CD/DVD to the hard disk - the program will not work if the original CD/DVD was not at least once in the drive (you can decide to check fo the original always, once or at certain times)
• Emulate the original CD/DVD - the protected program will request the original CD/DVD if run from an emulated drive.
• Cracking and distributing cacked versions - ProtectDISC uses highly sophisticated anti-cracking technology that does not only prevent generic cracks (like competitors do) but also makes individual cracks extremely hard. In fact, ProtectDISC versions since end of 2003 have never been broken.
• Professional piracy through mass replication is much harder (* although with good equipment possible - we don't belive any other claim from competing products)
• Algorythm theft is almost impossible since the programs will be encrypted and debugging is securely disabled.

From the users perspective ProtectDISC is a preferred choice because of:

• Very fast protection detection and 100% compatibility - the figerprint check is only a matter of seconds. Since ProtectDISC is within the specifications of the CD/DVD-ROM spec, no additional hardware compatibility issues are introduced.
• 100% transparent check - the user is not required to enter an individual code.

As a total solution, though the whole process of program development, ProtectDISC offers the following advantages to the development/QA department:

• Wrapping tools can be controlled by command line for automated protection on build systems
• New individual/machine limited unlock keys can be created for developer and beta machines to be able to test the FINAL master without the need for pre-production CDs.

ProtectDISC can be applied by any CD/DVD manufacturing plant. Ask your CD/DVD replicator or contact us for a list of optical disc manufacturers.
