A joint software copy protection service with Avangate has been announced today by the leader in device-based authentication for software license management and access control, Uniloc USA Inc. To offer a complete service for software copyright protection, available as Avangate CodeBox, a    full service provider of electronic software distribution and reseller management for software vendors, Avangate, and Uniloc are partnering. While providing a positive end-user experience, the solution minimizes software piracy risks and visibly increases revenue for software publishers.

Three modules are integrated by Avangate CodeBox: the Avangate(R) License Management Module, Uniloc SoftAnchor™, and the Avangate advanced antifraud system for advanced software copy protection.

In order for a software business to address both software piracy challenges and user demands for a truly user friendly experience, having a licensing strategy is mandatory. Developers are allowed by the ability to manage software activation in real time to increase or decrease software activation parameters to strike a balance between help desk calls and piracy protection while optimizing viral marketing models.

CIO of Uniloc, Casey Potenzone, declared: "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." "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."

Minimizing piracy risks while taking control of licenses currently in use, Avangate's integration with SoftAnchor allows Avangate's software partners to add an enhanced layer of copy protection to sold licenses. The Avangate CodeBox, combined with Avangate's License Management Module and advanced anti-fraud services, 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.
