Coding an app ~ What type of software security is this?

[simpleonline12]

You've seen them on all the top applications like SENuke X, Scrapebox, etc.

Before the application will launch you need to enter your username / password.

The app then calls home to verify the data given is correct.

If the data is correct the information allows the application to be usable.

If the data is incorrect the application will not launch.

What the actual name for this type of software protection?

It seems that this type of security is harder for people to crack and rip off your software.

Thanks.

No. This is fairly easy to crack. What makes all the difference in software security is what tricks you have implemented at the low level. The best by far are Virtual Machines, specifically the Themida RISC VM: Oreans Technology : Software Security Defined. /fanboy
