Antipiracy protection solution.

Primary audience of this solution is shareware developers. It could also have relevance to sellers of eBooks and other downloadable information.

If you are selling registration keys to unlock full version of your shareware products chances are that they are cracked and published for free access to anybody who isn't lazy to look around. Just try to search:

We are offering: Customized C++ and PHP codes these will give you ability to implement in your application and website secure and automatic sales via PayPal service to access a full version of your product, as well an option to permit end user to register for free trial period (shareware mode).

Main features of the solution:

• Registration of legitimately sold application is made via Internet without showing a password to user. Optionally manual registration is possible for users from counties not covered by PayPal or who has firewall limitations for Internet access.

Even if hacker will steel password from database on your site it will not break that final protection wall .
• You will keep all algorithms and keys for password calculation for yourself on your site without revealing them to anybody from third parties these process payment orders for you.
• Trial access information are saved in database on your website, not on user computer where it can be found, cracked and renewed for eternity by cracker software those are broad available too.

If you have difficulties to convince yourself that testing of our solution is value five backs, you can buy any of our products with most of the described features implemented (not in the exact same way and style but very close. Demo version (TestLeoGuard.zip) however has exact features of this solution).

Environment to implement the solution:

• MS VC++ (we can assist to modify codes into VC#.NET for additional fee if broad and well funded interest will be expressed ).
• Website hosted on server with support PHP and MySQL.   Yahoo! Web Hosting - Reliable, easy-to-use and affordable. will do the job.
• PayPal merchant account. It accepts credit cards, has low fee and well established reputation.
  
  In case you want  to use differ credit card process services it is possible to adopt codes if payment notification redirection is available for them as for PayPal but it is not matter of this offer and could be discussed separately.

Known limitations:

Some users in counties not covered by PayPal will have to find way to send money. In case of firewall limitations of Internet access registration of some users has to be done by sending them registration file.

Minimum qualification of developers to implement the solution:

• Entry level is enough. As soon you have developed any software with MS Studio VC++ 6 or 7 odds are that you can add modal dialog to your program but even if not, we will explain all process step by step.
• Basis knowledge of web - how to create folder and upload files on your site. Knowledge of PHP coding is helpful but not necessary. All customized for your product files will be created at ones by provided application.
• Advanced developers will be able to modify codes to enhance security even more by making some algorithms completely unique.
• Other benefit to get our solution is to learn how to incorporate in your application communication with your website. You will learn by examples how to download web pages, access and modify MySQL database directly from end user computer. As well how to process instant payment notification with PayPal.

We will supply: The application that from your input will create all necessary files to implement the solution, as well detail step by step instructions how to do it. Essentially it will come to creation empty dialog based class with VC++ and several copy/paste manipulations. Several PHP files have to be uploaded to the website. For adding others products to this solution your will need manually edit several PHP files. Very simple and transparent work by given example. We will also supply an PHP page for manual registration of paid users as well application for producing registration file that can be sent to user as attached file to register an application in case of its strictly firewall limitations.

We are not selling now yet. The product is the codes. At the same moment when they are revealed to anybody from outside of our company they are not protected. There are no safe solution to protect codes in principle. Options to check background of all potential clients, insist on legal protection by contracts or by other measures simple are not realistic. So we have a paradox - antipiracy protection solution cannot be secured just after very first sell.

So we decide to sell it at one time at pool auction.

How pool auction will work:

For argument sake let's presume that you are interested. Fill up the form of intention where you will offer any amount of money above starting threshold to get this solution. It will be your bet. As soon we will collect enough offers to decide that we are motivated enough to sell it at all, we will define current threshold and will notify those with offers are beaten what is the minimum bet now. We don't decide yet exact formula for calculation of threshold - most possible it will be based on idea that only 80% of best offers will be accepted if they are above mean minus two sigma. Something like this. It could be several cycles of notifications until final threshold will be established.

When we will feel that all serious offers are on table we will send invitation to all winners of the poll auction to send money. Then in short period after receiving most of payments we will email link to download antipiracy solution to all who sent money at ones.

Our expectation is that it takes about several months till final point. Our best interest is to make it as soon as possible. 

There is the bet form:

Starting threshold: $100 USD

* - mandatory information.

Disclaimer: By submitting this bet no you neither LeoKrut are under any financial obligations to execute it. Up to this point it is a demonstration of intention only. Do not send any money now.
