  • Publication number: 20150134534
    Abstract: A method of protecting a software program from unauthorized usage is presented. At startup, the program reads an encrypted license file. The license file contains the computer name for an individual license or the domain name for a group license. The program matches the computer name or the domain name in the license file against the computer name or domain name of the computer. If a name match exists, the program will run normally. Otherwise, the program closes immediately or runs with limited functionality. The license file is prepared based on the computer name or domain name submitted to the vendor website. The program displays the computer name and domain name for the user to copy-and-paste the name onto a webpage. The program may also provide a function to send the computer name or domain name without webpage interaction to the vendor website. After making the payment, the user downloads the license file from a webpage.
