Smarte Product Authentication
Smarte Product Authentication is a customizable Software Piracy Management platform, developed by Smarte Solutions, Inc. (or “SSI”), at the core of which is an immediately mass-deployable, CD-based copy protection tool, marketed as SmarteCD. The platform, as a whole, is comprised of complimentary Smarte Technologies that can be variably bundled by software manufacturers to provide sound, revenue-enhancing solutions that combat software piracy. The purpose of Piracy Management is to provide software manufacturers an immediate return on investment by significantly increasing legitimate sales and decreasing both production and distribution costs.
Smarte Product Authentication offers software manufacturers a flexible and cost-effective Piracy Management infrastructure that is ideally suited for the protection and promotion of multi-license enterprise software as well as individual consumer-license retail applications distributed on CD or via the Internet. For product and business environments that do require a rigorous ‘anti-piracy’ solution, Smarte Product Authentication can provide the strictest possible protection to an application, eliminating virtually all casual piracy of the product. Smarte Product Authentication, though, differentiates itself from alternative anti-piracy solutions in its flexibility of implementation. Because the infrastructure is comprised of distinct tools that can be used in different combinations and with variable underlying strategies, the resulting Piracy Management solution can be tailored to fit company and product specific user-base objectives. By uniquely managing piracy through Smarte Product Authentication, software companies can exploit piracy to their economic benefit – maximizing piracy’s positive contributions and minimizing its negative effects.
