CopyMinder is a new copy protection system that operates differently from all other systems and achieves what has, up to now, been thought impossible: hassle free, secure, flexible copy protection.

Most people appreciate that copy protection is a necessary precaution for Software Developers but object when legitimate users are inconvenienced by it.

Copy protection can actually be of benefit to End Users.  The main benefits are:

• If Software Developers did not lose so much money through theft, they would charge you less for their software.
• The Software Developer is less likely to go out of business, so you can get future updates and support.

The advantages to End Users of CopyMinder rather than other copy protection systems are:

• Hassle free     CopyMinder is more hassle free than any other system.  You do not need to plug in extra hardware or use special master disks.  Lost master disks or hardware 'dongles' were a continuous cause of hassle with old systems - not any more.
• Flexible     The Software Developer has the flexibility to tailor the protection parameters to each individual user via an Internet web page.  You do not need to do anything.
• Easy to Install    No complicated installation procedures.
• Deceased Developers    If your Software Developer goes out of business, you will still be able to use the software.  With old systems, any copy protection problems made your software unusable.  With CopyMinder, your software will automatically be unlocked should the Software Developer go out of business.
• Hardware failures    CopyMinder is not affected by changes to your hardware.
• Transfer to another machine    CopyMinder allows you to transfer the software to another machine.
• Automatic updates    Any problems with CopyMinder are transparently corrected by its own automatic update procedure.
