Description:	ByteShield is the first affordable, software-based, PC gaming and application software usage control solution that actually works and is user and developer friendly. Once usage is controlled, various new business models can enable additional revenue generation (e.g. rental, subscription, SaaS). In comparison to conventional software protection technologies usually based on a single hurdle, ByteShield has multiple hurdles where one removes small but critical pieces of the code it protects and then replaces them at run-time. A cracker may find and ‘fix’ one piece in a certain amount of time, but if 1,000, 10,000 or even 100,000 pieces of code need to be ‘fixed’, one by one, then the effort required is too great. Only ByteShield’s new approach, incorporating a remote license server, delivers user-friendly features such as permitting multiple installations, multiple activations and easily movable activations and has no impact on development teams.
