The Developer's Choice for Encryption Copy Protection
CrypKey SDK differs from CrypKey Instant in that it offers software developers greater flexibility to implement customized licensing strategies. With this version, CrypKey's function calls are imbedded, by the developer, into the source code of the application it is protecting. Some examples of the advanced functionality offered in CrypKey SDK include the ability to:
• |
create custom dialog boxes |
• |
protect specific aspects of an application (e.g., print functionality) without protecting the application in its entirety |
• |
determine at what point during the user's experience with the application that authorization is required |
CrypKey's own CloneBuster technology, which prevents hard drive copying through accessing and logging permanent, read-only hard drive serial numbers (HDSN), is common to both CrypKey SDK and CrypKey Instant.
CrypKey SDK's other innovative features include:
• |
enterprise network licensing — enables a protected program to function anywhere on the enterprise network |
• |
enhanced license transfer — permits users to transfer licenses out of and back into a license pool |
• |
eTransfer — allows licenses to be quickly and easily transferred from one computer to another via the internet |
• |
separate NGN process — permits users to debug a program while using CrypKey |
• |
CrypKey USBKey support — allows you to give your customers a hardware key, versus an electronic key, without requiring code changes |
• |
proven technology features — gives you all of CrypKey's robust technologies, including optional features such as CloneBuster, to prevent hard drive cloning; and CrypKey Stealth , to prevent reverse engineering |
CrypKey SDK:
• |
provides the flexibility to implement customized licensing strategies |
• |
protects executable (EXE) and dynamic linked library (DDL) files; also to protect any 32-bit application that makes calls to 32-bit libraries or DLLs |
• |
prevents reverse engineering |
• |
does not require a hardware key (i.e., dongle) |
• |
facilitates easy Internet distribution of your software |
• |
permits you to offer demonstration versions of your software |
• |
includes the Ready-To-Try feature, allowing you to offer potential customers a free trial of your software that you manage on your terms |

System Requirements
The system requirements of CrypKey SDK are:
• |
386 (or better) microprocessor with 8 MB RAM |
• |
1 MB free hard drive space |
• |
Windows 2000, 2003, NT, and XP |
Customers who require support for Windows ME or Windows 98 will have an additional $200 US added to their Annual Subscription fee.
Note: CrypKey SDK requires that approximately 1 MB or 10 files must be appended to or distributed with the protected application's EXE. |
