Uniloc USA Inc., the leader in device-based authentication for software license management and access control today announced a joint software copy protection service with Avangate. Avangate, a full service provider of electronic software distribution and reseller management for software vendors and Uniloc are partnering to offer a complete service for software copyright protection, available as Avangate CodeBox. The solution minimizes software piracy risks and visibly increases revenue for software publishers while providing a positive end-user experience.
Avangate CodeBox integrates three modules: Uniloc SoftAnchor™, the Avangate® License Management Module, and the Avangate advanced antifraud system for advanced software copy protection.
"By pairing the Avangate electronic software registration and e-commerce solution with SoftAnchor, we are providing sophisticated license protection for our software partners while delivering user-friendly software activation for their customers." said Cristian Badea, Chief Information Officer for Avangate. "Uniloc's advanced software copy protection capabilities will be a tremendous facilitator in our delivery of premier software offerings."
Having a licensing strategy is mandatory in order for a software business to address both software piracy challenges and user demands for a truly user friendly experience. The ability to manage software activation in real time allows developers to increase or decrease software activation parameters to strike a balance between help desk calls and piracy protection while optimizing viral marketing models.
"Uniloc's partnership with Avangate is a symbiotic venture of perfectly matching services. Together we can provide a stable and unique solution that protects software vendors' revenue and client portfolio," says Casey Potenzone, CIO of Uniloc. "Avangate CodeBox integrating SoftAnchor provides a competitive advantage for software publishers answering real software business challenges including copyright protection, end-user experience and secured payments."
How it works
Avangate's integration with SoftAnchor allows Avangate's software partners to add an enhanced layer of copy protection to sold licenses, minimizing piracy risks while taking control of licenses currently in use. Combined with Avangate's License Management Module and advanced anti-fraud services, the Avangate CodeBox, jointly provided by Avangate and Uniloc, delivers an easy-to-use software registration process and transparent integration within the online ordering process creating the ultimate customer end-user experience.

SoftAnchor supports a wide range of licensing variations, enabling clients to move into emerging markets throughout the global economy.

Uniloc’s technologies can identify devices with more comparable accuracy than human DNA. Uniloc is the inventor and holder of the seminal physical device locking patent (U.S. 5,490,216) and has 15 related patents pending. Uniloc has applied its Physical Device Recognition technical expertise to several vertical markets, including software publishing, government network access control, online banking and trading, and CD/DVD anti-theft.
