StarForce Launches New Universal Software Protection Platform
An elegant new Universal Software Protection Platform helps to manage and control all Protection Projects in a single, elegant, multifunctional solution
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- A worldwide leader in software protection and licensing
technologies, StarForce (www.star-force.com) announces its highly anticipated
commercial release of StarForce Protection Studio, a new universal software
protection platform designed to allow software developers and publishers more
efficient management and control over all protection projects in a single,
elegant and multifunctional solution.
The product is targeted at various
groups, including developers and publishers of PC games and edutainment
(traditionally shipped on optical media), business software providers who
deliver their software via the Internet, special-needs software developers
releasing their applications in small batches, software distributors and
Internet shops.
"StarForce created Protection Studio following extensive
research into software protection market demands, finding that, in overwhelming
numbers, customers required a flexible system that would provide both licensing
and protection features. We believe that Studio is a groundbreaking and truly
unified control center," comments StarForce CEO Michael Kalinichenko, "providing
effective tools to streamline the protection implementation process as well as
assisting responsible managers in the spending reduction of two of their most
important assets: time and money."
"The protection implementation process
can be a complex one, consisting of several steps that require knowledge and
experience in both technical as well as commercial aspects," says Oleg
Salyakhov, Technical Director of StarForce. "Thus, the stages of the entire
process are often shared between several responsible people within the project
group. The architecture of the StarForce Protection Studio is therefore designed
to help organize the protection application workflow in the most convenient way,
and also provides advanced tools to coordinate those different work
phases."
Protection Studio goes further than being just a copy protection
solution. As a comprehensive protection platform, it includes superior code
protection, advanced anti-emulation, and flexible activation and licensing
technologies combined into a single easy to manage solution. A customer simply
selects a solution matching the company's specific needs, and proceeds from
there.
Along with its superb product use control features, the protection
provides a wide range of business development opportunities. Activation and
licensing technologies open up additional marketing possibilities, including
license distribution control, product activation statistics, market demand
research, client promotion and much more.
StarForce Protection Studio is
built on a comprehensive approach to a software product protection, which, based
on the company's seven-year experience in heavily pirated IT-markets, has proved
to be effective in USA and EA countries as well. StarForce supports protection
on every stage of the product development cycle, be it beta, demo, a localized
version, a release or an update. Moreover, Protection Studio features MMO games
and Internet sales protection and supports both the on-demand and
buy-and-download schemes.

Meanwhile, to discuss and display the formidable capabilities of its new
StarForce Universal Software Protection Platform, StarForce Technologies will be
appearing at E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) in Los Angeles, California
(Booth #7522), from May 18-20, 2005.
