A secure flash memory for delivering software and its license

UniKey Drive is an innovative USB device that allows software vendors to protect, license and deliver their software applications, drivers, and data to end users using a single USB key. By combining hardware protection and software licensing into one solution, UniKey Drive empowers software vendors with the flexibility to choose the level of protection and licensing that best fits their budget and business needs.

UniKey Drive key arms software vendors with the ability to deliver fully licensed and protected software easily—greatly reducing installation steps for end users. The licenses are stored inside the smartcard with highest security, so UniKey Drive enables software publishers to promote their business through software protection, IP protection and secure licensing.

With UniKey Drive, vendors can use partitioning software to provide mass storage for their end users. This provides significant flexibility, allowing software vendors to partition the key in any way and designate space for the software (ROM) and mass storage for the end user. They can also store their own application data files. Additionally, UniKey Drive’s auto-run software setup capabilities allow end users to run the protected application directly from the UniKey Drive USB key, adding even further convenience for the end user.

The UniKey drive 1G dongle is a new range of driverless dongle that is a 1G flash disk and a dongle in one unit. This means that you can distribute your software on the dongle itself! The UniKey Drive 1G offers similar functionality to the UniKey Pro range of dongles. Its main features are as follows:

Key Features
Smaller size, Tiny in Price
UniKey Drive measuring 30mm (L)*12mm (W)*2mm (H), the smallest security dongle in the world, ideally suited for notebook computers or where a Dongle security products feature industry leading functionality and capabilities to ensure your software is locked down tightly.

Driverless
No need to install drivers (it uses drivers built into Windows).

Smartcard technology
UniKey Drive smartcard processor, based on advanced smartcard which is the proven most secure technology, controls the software licenses and flash storage inside UniKey drive. It is ideal for distributing your software on-key. Use the UniKey Drive key when you want to license a large number of components or require metered licensing.

Strong anti-debug code
A hallmark of all our software protection systems

1GB on-key flash storage memory
UniKey drive includes a 1GB on-key flash storage. This is for storing user’s data such as software, digital credentials and so on.
As well as having the functionality of a security dongle, it can also be used as a flash disk (currently 1GB). You can distribute your software on the dongle itself!
The UniKey Drive flash memory storage is versatile, which can be partitioned to several virtual drives.

Virtual CD-ROM with auto run
A virtual CD-ROM can be created in UniKey drive. Software can utilize the auto-run function to deploy the software with ease.

Password protected flash drive
The virtual flash drive can be password-protected. Non-authorized users cannot access the data on the protected UniKey flash drive.

Encrypted and hidden flash drive
Many techniques can improve the security between your code and our code. Many other dongle systems lack these techniques, which can protect the weakest part of the protection system. The encrypted/hidden drive function gives software vendors ideal secure flash memory storage for storing large data volumes. The flash drive is invisible for end users and our internal virtual disk protection design makes data copy impossible.

Network licensing
UniKey Drive USB key is the most advanced and sophisticated system available for protecting software running in network environments.
A single UniKey Drive USB key, connected to any computer in a network, provides three flexible ways of software protection:  
Software copy protection
To limit the number of users who can access your application concurrently.
Controls access of different software modules and packages.

UniKey Drive key provides software vendors the ability to issue fully licensed and protected software to reduce installation steps for end users. Software vendors can use it to partition software and provide mass storage for end users. The on-chip 128-bit AES encryption ensures a robust link between the application and the hardware key, while the secure communication between the Drive key and the application offers powerful resistance to middle layer attacks. UniKey Drive key supports multiple licensing methods, offers remote and flexible updating capabilities by remote updating.
UniKey Drive is an ultimate USB key for software protection in network environments. A single key connected to any station in the network limits up to 10, 50, and 250+ concurrent users.
