WinCops for Windows Applications
WinCops is an easy-to-use security system designed for the protection of single-user, Windows applications. You own the system and can make as many protections as you like. Your Windows application is protected and transferred to a key diskette which cannot be copied. This key diskette is sent to your customer who can then install your program on the number of machines you have specified. The installed application runs on the target machines, but cannot be copied to others. The program runs normally with no interference from the protection - unless the end-user tries to make an unauthorized copy. First release: August 1990.

OS2Cops for OS2 Applications
Protects OS2 DLL's. Key diskette required for installation only. Afterwards, the protected program recognizes the machine. Protection code runs in protected mode and at processor priority-level zero. Supports OS2 version 2.0 and upwards. The DLL is encrypted and furnished with debug traps. Released March 1990.

DIALCOPS - Access Control by Telephone
Access control is a means of keeping track of WHO is using WHAT data WHERE (and maybe even WHEN). Without it, data can circulate freely once the originator releases it.
DIALCOPS is a licensing system allowing the distribution of scrambled or otherwise "closed" data/programs at little or no initial cost to the end-user. Parts of the data can be pre-opened as an appetizer. The distributor can then open up data or executable programs by simply providing an access code over the telephone.
DIALCOPS is unique in that it restricts the allowed use to a single machine, or, in the case of network software, to one particular network and a selected number of users. Thus, one needs an access code for each user or group of users. This separation is achieved by examining and uniquely identifying the inner "signature" of the machine. The Machine ID was invented by LINK in 1987 and has been used world-wide since then.
The access-code can also be limited, so that it runs out after a specified length of time. After expiration, a new code can be given. In any case, the distributor is guaranteed of payment.

  • Ideally suited for demonstration purposes.
  • Code generation can be automated using a voice response system.
  • For cost effectiveness, several manufacturers can publish a common CD-ROM and get individual payment when programs are opened up.
Released September 1993.
