![]() A random string is sent into the dongle, which the dongle then encrypts using this private key. The dongle itself has a key stored in it that can't directly be read. (if I remember correctly) the Sentinel Superpro work in the same way as chip cards (chip cards probably copied them). dongle = extra costs to the product and to distribution but is usually still crackable online activation = the user may have to actually crack the software of find where you are storing the data that says the product is unlocked. ![]() No protection at all = the user can simply copy the files to another computer to execute In short, if you keep your game constantly updating, or make it free but with IAP or IAP contents, it will offer you better "protection" than most of the costly, high-end software protection.Ĭlick to expand.Using a dongle will simply make it one step harder to crack. Even for people who pirate those 99c games - it is way to much trouble for the time and effort to jail break and stay up to date. ![]() If your game is 99c or free - there is little incentive for people to pirate it. The only REAL software protection you can have really is to make your game free. But even that - may even be defeatable if the hacker start attacking the server in which it resides on, or even worse - talented team re-create the game using tools like Unity or UDK (like a mod team) using video stream as art reference. ![]() ALL the software has to be store on server side and only videos are stream to the user based on user input. The only method of software protection that *may* be undefeatable is video streaming - eg. Even the most sophiscated server side protection (storing crucial game data/gameplay mechanics only on server) has been proven useless in the face of hacker. There is currently no method of software protection that is not undefeatable. The moment you ship your software to the user along with the dongle (and key) the protection is already gone. ![]()
