Abstract: A method for acylating a hexakis (arylmethyl) hexaazaisowurtzitane (WB6) by reductively removing the arylmethyl groups in the presence of an acylating agent, characterized by contacting a WB6 (a) with a heterogeneous system reduction catalyst (b) in the presence of an acylating agent (c) and a reducing agent (d) in a solvent (e) for the WB6 (a) to reductively remove the arylmethyl groups from the WB6 (a) and acylate the same, and by preventing the WB6 (a) and the catalyst (b) from being contacted with each other when at least either of the acylating agent (c) and the reducing agent (d) is not present. In this method, the decomposition of the WB6 skeleton, which readily occurs in the beginning of the acylation of the WB6 as a starting material, can be highly effectively inhibited. This method can hence stably produce a tetraacylhexaazaisowurtzitane derivative in a high yield and is industrially advantageous.

Abstract: A software analysis protection method capable of preventing an illegitimate use of a software reliably, by making a software analysis difficult without complicating or enciphering the software itself. Software parts dividing the software to be used at the user terminal are distributedly stored in the user terminal and the center, and the software parts stored in the center are transmitted to the user terminal and loaded into missing parts among the software parts stored in the user terminal on a memory so as to make the software operable at the user terminal. Then, the software as developed on the memory is operated at the user terminal. The software parts are down-loaded from the center to the user terminal such that an arranged pattern of the software as developed on the memory is changed at each time of a use of the software at the user terminal.
