INTEGRATION Automatic licensing and security Regardless of whether you use AxProtector/IxProtector in combination, or just one of the tools, you always profit from CodeMeter’s unique concept. By clearly separating the ideas of “integrating software protection once” and “flexible licensing later on,” you can adapt license models to your market needs at any time without incurring additional development costs. Acceptance through performance To stay ahead of hackers, our Security Think Tank Team is continually developing new protection methods. Our adage of “maximum security, minimum performance loss” means only the best ideas are implemented in our products. As a result, CodeMeter is one of the fastest technologies on the market. The standard practice is to protect your software using AxProtector, which means you don’t have to worry about performance issues. Applications protected by this tool take on average one second longer to boot and aren’t noticeably slower afterwards. In individual cases, special settings can be adjusted to further enhance performance. With IxProtector, the code is always decrypted and encrypted at runtime. It uses intelligent caching to maximize performance and security. You can define when a native application is decrypted. With .NET applications, IxProtector automatically makes this decision for you. Here you can individually specify encryption options as far down as the method level. This allows you to map “features on demand” in an easy and straightforward manner. Individual user messages You have a free hand in deciding how to generate license- specific error messages. You can use the already existing error messages, edit them, send them to an error log file, or implement your own error handling strategy. The choice is completely yours: If the license is missing, you can start the application in demo mode or suggest the customer purchases it. If your software doesn’t have a user interface, you might decide to redirect errors, for example, to a log file or generate a message. Multiple platforms AxProtector and IxProtector are unique in the number of operating systems and runtime environments they support. AxProtector and IxProtector were the first software automatic protection tools for Windows, macOS, Linux, VxWorks and Windows CE, and for some operating systems, they are still the only ones available, for example for native Java and .NET applications. Make sure you too benefit from Wibu-Systems’ many years of experience in fighting software pirates, imitators and saboteurs around the world. Proven security In the ever-changing world of IT, it is essential for software vendors to anticipate highly adept and well organized hacker teams. Home-grown solutions are not capable of doing so anymore. Even commercially available products sometimes fail to adequately protect your software from hackers. Who is a better judge of a secure program than a hacker himself? The security of Wibu-Systems, products has been demonstrated time and again at various international hacker contests around the world. What more proof do you need of the high quality of Wibu-Systems products? 7
