Security for Licensed Managed Applications

GuardIT^® for FLEXnet^® Publisher

Point-click protection for FlexNET applications

GuardIT for FLEXnet Publisher has been developed by software-protection leader Arxan Technologies, in conjunction with a leader in license management, Acresso, to provide intricate and layered protection that mitigates license management piracy and tampering.

Acresso’s FLEXnet® Publisher’s license management policies specialize in enabling the specification, enforcement and tracking of software usage. One of the most common attacks on software applications today is to circumvent or defeat the license management policies of a software application using Binary Code Modification. Hackers modify the binaries of an application to bypass license management and to launch wide scale software piracy.

GuardIT for FLEXnet Publisher is specifically designed to thwart binary level attacks by protecting FLEXnet libraries and application calls to the FLEXnet libraries. This deep level of protection for both FLEXnet libraries and application calls provides companies strong security against software piracy. GuardIT for FLEXnet Publisher is easy-to-use and can be deployed as a seamless part of the build process due to its command line implementation capability.

Similar to the other products in the GuardIT family, GuardIT for FLEXnet Publisher is based on patented Guard technology. However, unique to GuardIT for FLEXnet Publisher, are a predefined and specific set of FLEXnet Publisher protection Guards that are used to constitute a Guard protection network. The Guard network is embedded in a pre-configured and customizable GuardScript® that defines the security design. FLEXnet Publisher customers will realize increased security and efficient time-to-deployment with this unique ability to seamlessly incorporate GuardIT for FLEXnet Publisher into their build process.
