But frequently there is a gap between concept and reality. We are sure you know the waiting lines in many support call centers are not always a real help. At WIBU-SYSTEMS, competent consulting and technical support are highly ranked. This includes the support during the conception planning phase and during the technical implementation. And even your customers – the end users with licensed copies of your protected software and the CodeMeter Stick or WibuBox – can use our free-of charge end-user support. Just read some of the feedback we received from our customers: Frank Beckers IT + Service, Frank Beckers: “At first, many thanks for your support. There are only few companies who help their customers like you do.”. VNG - Verbundnetz Gas AG, Alexander Ziehe: “Problem solved, computer detects WibuBox. Software runs well! Many, many thanks.”. cui bono - soft GbR, Axel Gutzler: “Many thanks for your quick answer on a Saturday (!). We really appreciate that quick answer.”. Grafik & More, Alexander Wagner: “you are always very fast! I don’t need your support frequently, but when I did, everything worked fine.”. Alcatel-Lucent Deutschland AG, Frank Adaschak: “many thanks for the quick answer and the acceptance of a request for a product change. We also liked the idea with the additional parameter.”.
On the other hand, you don’t want your customers seeing the price list including the margin flexibility. Or even worse: Your direct competitor receives the documents with all your secret information! If you find yourself in this situation, then we have the right solution for you: SmartShelter|PDF. As usual with a good software protection strategy you should have a plan before you implement it: “Which persons get access rights?” is the question to ask. After you have defined different groups, you provide Product Codes: PC* Feature 1 price list for external sales staff 2 price list for internal sales staff 3 price list for partners 4 technical documentation *Product Code After that you convert all documents into PDF (if they are not already in this format) and protect them with the Product Codes from the table above. You can also open linked Excel tables or movies, but they are not encrypted. In the next step you program the CodeMeter Sticks for your employees and partners. Each of your employees can have more than one Product Code on his or her CodeMeter Stick and then use different types of documents without changing the dongle. For programming you can use the CmBoxPgm command line tool or with CodeMeter Producer you have a database application with a graphic user interface. An item in the CodeMeter Stick can also optionally receive an Expiration Time. Then the employee has to extend his access rights after a specific time or he or she loses the reading capabilities for that document. Such an extension can be done via Field Activation – the employees do not need to come back to the office with their CodeMeter Sticks. The file location in general is not a security risk: There are no security differences if you store the encrypted documents on the CodeMeter Stick or on the local hard disk. Do you know that your sales man- ager and your partners can securely send you the newest sales manuals, price lists, and any other propri- etary information anywhere and anytime? C A S E S T U D Y Manuals directly from the CmStick To further simplify the usage, we supply a start program for the CodeMeter Stick: This program searches for all PDF files, which are stored on the stick, and shows these files if the required license (the suitable Product Code) is found. A simple double-click opens then the document in the PDF viewer. If you copy the freely available Acrobat Reader on the CodeMeter Stick then our start program opens this reader on the stick instead of the (possibly) installed reader on the local PC hard disk. As a result, nothing has to be installed on a temporary or borrowed computer. The protected documents can be used anywhere, anytime (until the Expiration Time stops it). 15
