Easy to Implement

GameShield not only provides a flexible DRM Kit with extensive support and product documentation, it also provides a New Project Wizard to guide you through GameShield’s features and to help you set up new projects. With basic and advanced modes you can be protecting games with a few quick steps; even have non-developers use the New Project Wizard’s easy step-by-step instructions.

Your development team simply could not create a sophisticated DRM system with an equivalent level of protection to GameShield - period. Once your team is familiar with GameShield, protecting games (and other applications) is as simple as a few clicks and takes just minutes.

Only single build is necessary for both online and offline distribution

Create a unified build for the physical CD/DVD copies for your retail channels, and the online download versions for your online channels. This not only reduces the complexity for your integration process, but also improves the ongoing life-cycle and support of your PC titles.

Patches, game extras, updates - all can be more efficiently managed by utilizing GameShield. A unified build will also help your distributors offer more efficient and timely customer service, and ease the workload of your product and sales support teams.

Increased Profitability and Efficiency

By substantially increasing your products’ security, you fend off crackers for as long as possible - expanding your game’s initial release window for the maximum possible time before a crack may appear - if it ever appears.

Also GameShield reduces development cycle time and effort, thereby shortening your time-to-market, and reducing your overall spending. Games can be licensed, and secured quickly without major development input. And if you choose to use GameShield’s IronWrapping™, you can protect your game without any code changes whatsoever. Publishers, in turn, can close additional sales to customers by meeting targeted release dates.

Furthermore, by enhancing the support of your online and retail products through more efficient license enforcement you will increase customer satisfaction. By reducing your development team's workload and making your product easier to use, you can focus on what you do best - developing more fun games.

Easy Product Activations for Customers

You can increase sales through immediate product activations and a flexible licensing approach that does not impede your customers using your product. With the Server and IronWrap™ Editions of GameShield, you get the Web-Activator™ and CheckPoint License Server™ for automating registrations and license enforcement. These web-applications are always on - permitting customers of your game to purchase and activate your games literally while they are running - without even shutting them down.

You can also implement manual activation methods such as phone or print for your products.
