Software Keys Guardant DL

Guardant DL is a software version of the Guardant Sign hardware security keys designed to help software developers monetize their products, reduce costs, and deal with reverse engineering and unauthorized use.

Guardant DL software keys provide secure and encrypted storage for license information and licensing restrictions. The key is securely bound to the physical or virtual machine on which the software was originally activated.

Key Advantages

• Safe and flexible licensing
• Automatic online delivery
• Offline mode
• Maximum protection against reverse engineering
• Secure data exchange protocols
• Compatibility with virtualization tools
• Encrypted data storage
• Remote update mechanism
• Compatibility with automatic code protection tools
• Simple and functional API

Software Protection

With Guardant DL keys, you can be sure that your software is protected against reverse engineering and unauthorized copying. To decrypt and run protected software, the end user must have a security key with the required licenses.

You can easily set up protection in just a few clicks using Guardant Protection Studio, an automatic protection utility. The utility independently processes the executable file or library, implements multi-layered security measures, and binds the file to the security key.

Flexible Licensing

Each key not only has secure, non-volatile memory, but can also store software license restrictions and verify end-user compliance.

With a single key, you can license up to 700 programs or separate modules. Developers can set their own licensing restrictions for each module.

The keys can operate in local mode or distribute licenses over the network to other devices, ensuring protection and adherence to licensing terms.

Supported Licensing Models

• Module-based
• Time-based
• Concurrent licensing
• Usage-based
• Trial
• Custom models

Sales Automation

Since there is no physical media, the Guardant DL software key is the perfect solution for automating software sales and delivering licenses online.

The entire license lifecycle, including creation, setting licensing restrictions, activation, updates, and revocation, can be managed automatically. This approach reduces costs, minimizes human error, and builds user loyalty by providing a convenient service.

Data Security

The software keys include a secure data storage area where developers can safely store not only license information but any other data set as well.

Data is available through an API that only the developer can access. For end users, data is available in read-only mode or read/write mode, depending on the developer's choice.
