Simple Copy Protection Example License And Application


You can find this example program and license inside the folder \GameShield\Pre-Compiled Examples\SimpleCopyPro.

Note that the license project file ("SimpleCPExample.lpj") is provided for your reference but you should never distribute license project files (.lpj) with your actual applications.

This example license is configured just to use the default GameShield copy-protection (hardware bound) mechanism. The example program will not run until you enter a valid Activation Code (indicating that you are "registered owner").

Below are instructions on how to test the example program and unlock it. Note that if you have not yet purchased the GameShield System, while you are testing the example program, the "Demo Version" dialog may appear to remind you that the version of GameShield you are using is a demo version. Simply dismiss this dialog and continue with the steps as noted. If you have already purchased the GameShield System, but the "Demo Version" dialog continues to appear, be sure you have read and followed the instructions in the section: Unlocking The Demo Version Of GameShield.

Note that you may wish to refer to the section How to Copy Protect Your Application for more detailed information.

To Test The Application

Simply run the application and follow the instructions.  We suggest that you use the simulate "purchase on-line" option and see how the communication with the web-activator works.
