augusto.pellis Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Good morning everybody. Has anyone a suggestion on how to protect a uniGui application? I would think as a license manager completely API based with license server hosted remotely and I would know if some of you had positive experiences with any vendor. Thank you very much Augusto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mierlp Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi There are several solutions in the market for securing software, but it is precisely what you want to use it for. You can also make something yourself in combination with a subscription model. For example, you can also create an encrypted file with customer data that is always displayed, which also uses a machine ID or mac address of the server or another unique key. For example, a key that you generate based on customer data or a random code. You can use a GUID in your application and include that code as a unique code in an encrypted file. You regularly check whether the GUID is equal to the content of the file and you also do a check in your online license manager. Here you arrange your subscription and determine whether the application can run or not. If you turn off the subscription in your license manager, you also change a parameter in the encrypted file so that the application does not work if they turn off internet traffic or apply a firewall rule. You can also use the registry as a fall-back of the encrypted file if, for example, they restore a version. Pay attention when using unique hardware data as this may change again. Certainly when your customer starts using virtualized servers, for example with VMware and a VMotion takes place to another server. https://avlock.av-soft.com/ see the documentation section for info http://www.jproductivity.com/ http://www.ssware.com/index.htm https://www.oreans.com/ https://agilis-sw.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augusto.pellis Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Thanks mierlp for your help. I've been dealing with QLM for a while and I would switch to something which doesn't need anything installed client side (uniGUI speaking that would be our application server) apart the license key(s) stored somewhere. I'll bee checking the links you so courtesy provided. Thanks Augusto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
