Software protection and anti-cheat for games

against copying, piracy and illegal use


Copy protection is a system of measures aimed at countering unauthorized duplication of information, usually presented in electronic form. What methods of copy protection are used? It can be organizational, legal, software or hardware protection.

The Business Software Alliance (BSA) reports that the worldwide piracy level rose by 42% in 2014. This indicates that, without certain protection measures, companies risk losing between 20% and 80% of their income depending on the area of the world in which they operate. Software protection is in high demand.
