NLS™ for Windows provides protection against imaging technologies such as Norton Ghost, and virtualisation systems such as MS VirtualPC and VMWare.

As we all know VMware and other Virtual machine technologies are excellent tools for developers, especially for testing and cloning.

The problem lies with the last word, cloning. These programs make a copy of a partition and then end users have a re-usable image of the authorized programs on that machine. They can then install working copies on all their other machines and distribute the products to others.

The one key area that VMware differs from this scenario is that VM’s do not interact directly with the operating system like a partition backup. In simple terms they create a virtual space that ‘spoofs’ the responses that would have come from an operating system and so we have to protect against the threat in a different way.

So Nalpeiron developed a way to detect and prevent the activation (authorization) of licenses on machines with VMware (and VirtualPC) that is selectable by our developers to prevent the use of “cloning” as a way to pirate your software.

The same applies to “Ghost” and similar disk copying/backup applications are excellent tools for end users for cloning hard drives or for corporate rollouts.

Nalpeiron has developed several ways to help prevent casual copying using ghost-type programs too.

First, our technology prevents most types of basic disk copying, period.

However, in cases where the user tries to make a full copy of a drive including the Master Boot record (MBR) we have developed a further way to prevent copying.

This feature is only available for PRO customers.

You will be able to test your application in a live environment including the ability to complete the whole process from setup to integration. See how easy it is to get up and running within a few hours and check out all the benefits to you with no obligation.
