Piracy Prevention and Intelligence Solutions
Software piracy continues to be a multi-billion dollar problem for the software
industry. Additionally, individual ISVs are challenged to quantify the specific
impact that piracy has on their products and businesses.
V.i. Labs offers two complementary solutions for software vendors to combat piracy
and recover license revenue:
Piracy Intelligence Solution
Quantify Your Piracy Problem and Recover Revenue
Adding detection and reporting technologies using CodeArmor Intelligence enables ISVs to quantify the scope of
your piracy problem and identify the actual organizations using pirated software
to build their businesses. This makes it easier to recover the license revenue by
pursuing them through legal or sales activities.
Forensic evidence of infringement is fed into the ISV’s reporting and lead management
database which is then organized into sales leads and easily integrated into Salesforce.com
and existing CRM systems.
Piracy Prevention Solution
Prevent Tampering of License Management and DRM Systems
Adding anti-reverse engineering protection using CodeArmor Software Protection to a software release to prevent the
embedded Digital Rights Management or licensing functions from being bypassed extends
the time it takes piracy groups to crack an application. Bypassing these functions
is known as binary tampering and is the most common method of enabling an application
to be pirated.
Because protection is added to the software binaries (and not the source code itself),
the protection process can be automated, allowing the ISV to focus its efforts on
its core competencies and products’ functionality.
Choosing the Right Solution
Selecting the right anti-piracy strategy depends on a variety of factors including
market focus, the type of software, and the maturity of the business and software.
