One of the hardest fights for software developers is to assure that their products are not illegally downloaded and used.
It is hard (if not even impossible) for a company to release a software with what hackers call a "perfect protection system". Maybe the best example I can think of now is in games industry. Every single game was and is going to be hacked sooner or later. Developers are investing huge sums of money not to make their application "unbreakable" but to make it last long enough (un-hacked) so they can receive profit from those who are paying for a fair license.

Software developers are facing the same problems. It doesn't matter if your software is small and cheap or if it is some powerful, complex and expensive graphic design tool. People are trying to steal it, use it illegally or even worse, resell it for profit.
ScarletFace was created to help you in solving this problem (at least some of it). ScarletFace is not perfect and it can't provide that "perfect protection system" (producers are not even clamming that) but it can make your software safer and harder to steal.

This application is perfect for trial, limited edition or license limited software. Basically, with ScarletFace you can limit the license use for your software to one computer, two computers or any number you want. If you are selling a software with a license that makes it utilizable on 6 different computers, with ScarletFace you can be sure that your software is going to be installed on six computers only. Any additional attempt to install that particular software on the 7th computer will result in a failure.

ScarletFace is easy to install and use. There are three steps you must follow:

1) You need to find an installer that lets you open a data file and execute a program without installing it.

2) You need to know how to run an external executable from your application using Windows Shell API.

3) You need to know either how to trap a Windows message or how to check a file existence and include one thing or another in your source code.

If you know how to do these three steps, the entire configuration process is really simple. Before you include ScarletFace in your software, you need to set some options. ScarletFace comes with a special configuration program that will help you with setting various options.

Overall, ScarletFace is a great software and definitely a step forward for developers who are trying to protect their applications.

Why is ScarletFace famous?

ScarletFace is famous because it provides a cheap and viable solution in your war against hackers and those who are trying to use your products illegally. This software was designed to limit the number of installations of your downloadable software on your buyer's computers.
