New Wave Software releases SPI to combat Software Piracy
Morrisville, PA – May 25, 1999 – To prevent software piracy and track
those who attempt it, New Wave Software, Inc. has developed SPI(TM)
— Software Piracy Intervention.
SPI adds a protective layer to software products that allows only
those end-users who legitimately purchased the software to install
it. No matter how many copies of a protected program get distributed
illegally, only the valid purchaser can install the product.
SPI includes unique features such as passive and active encryption
protection. SPI protected products can be distributed over the
Internet, on CD-ROM or on diskette. Another unique feature of SPI is
that it can remotely disable stolen prepackaged software. One phone
call to New Wave can disable one, two or thousands of stolen software
products, rendering them useless.
When the end-user installs a protected product, the SPI archive is
subjected to a series of validation checks. If any of these checks
fail, the product doesn’t install and the end-user’s information is
recorded. The developer of the software can use this information to
prosecute the thief.
Additional security can be added to your product using Lock
Point(TM). Lock Point locks your product to the first computer that
it was successfully installed on. Lock Point prevents illegal copies
of an installed product from running on any other computer. Both SPI
and Lock Point are cross-platform and work seamlessly with any
software application or computer file.
Scheduled for release on May 25, 1999, SPI will be available from New
Wave Software, Inc. “Initial response to SPI’s quality, features and
pricing has been outstanding.”
“For just pennies a copy, software developers can protect all their
products from software piracy and increase their revenue stream”,
said Eric Markowitz, New Wave Software, Inc. President.
