1. Java Code Protector

Java Code Protector^TM is a tool to protect vulnerable Java programs against reverse engineering and software cracking. This product is ground breaking in that it provides decent protection of Java programs for the first time in the industry, where the main existing countermeasure has been obfuscators, which only makes program code difficult to comprehend. While those obfuscators cannot prevent cracking effectively, the Protector provides an effective way to protect Java programs, without losing their "pure Java" character.

2. "Chain" Copy Protection Toolkits

Why copy protection?

Copy protection is the easiest and surest way to increase your sales, if you sell products that users really needs or wants. Many users would choose to use your products without paying anything, if it's not copy-protected. But if it's copy-protected, everybody who needs it would have to pay for it to use it. So, it's no wonder that copy protection could double your sales in some cases.

That is also why any responsible product manager should have her/his product copy-protected in one way or another. We, ChainKey, believe that we provide the best copy protection method currently available (See Pantents for reasons.)

Chain Toolkits

We are developing several copy protection toolkits for different environments, as shown in the table. They provides class libraries and tools for software licensing with strong copy-protection. You can use it with another licensing solution by third party, so you can combine best copy protection and best licensing.

	For protecting Java applications	For protecting Windows native applications	For protecting Mac OS X native applications
Stand Alone For licensing stand alone computers. No licensing server program is included.	JChain SA v1.6.5.3	Chain SA (Under development)	Chain SA for Mac (Planned)
Online For licensing using an online server. Automatic management for 7 days/ 24 hours.	JChain Web v1.6.5.0	Chain Web (Under development)	Chain Web for Mac (Planned)

Why Chain Toolkit?

Chain toolkits are all based on our adaptive key technology. Before this technology, software developers has believed that we must sacrifice either:

strong copy protection or
online distribution

But now, our adaptive key technology has finally combined them together. It also releaves users from troublesome activation procedure when user changes hardware configurations (for example, Windows activation, which is hardware dependent unlike our Chain toolkits, requires users to activate software every time user makes big changes in hardware configurations). In brief, another important benefit of our toolkits is:

stable computer identification (independent from hardwares)

Check out patents for details.
