The Power of the HASP Envelope

Within minutes, developers can protect a .NET Framework Version 2.0 application by "wrapping" it in a virtually impenetrable shell. Because using the Envelope doesn't require changes to the source code, it stands as the ideal protection solution for software distributors and resellers. HASP Envelope benefits include:

• Protects software against unauthorized use by binding the software to HASP
• Prevents reverse engineering by encrypting the software files
• Prevents debugging of application code by using strong anti-debugging schemes
• Prevents attacks on software by wrapping the files with multiple, randomly-assembled layers of protection
