  TPsiCrypt means that YOU can Rest In Peace !

TPsiCrypt Concept

To protect YOUR software with the minimum of fuss,  no complex code,  no methods or functions to access,  just fill in some properties and Rest In Peace.

UPGRADE.

This upgrade provides for protection for many developers shipping many products to the same client.

ALL products (including components) are now protected by the TPsiCrypt component.  Whilst this has added properties to the TPsiCrypt component,  the over-all concept and design is still simple,  yet very powerful.

How to use TPsiCrypt

The TPsiCrypt component is placed on the form to be protected (in the case of EXE files) or included as a library (in the case of components),  the developer fills in some property details such as;

The COMPANY Name (DevCOMPANY)

The Name of the Product - (DevProduct)

and the number of tries the client may have.(DevTryCount)

Note: Fields DevUserName and DevRegKey may be filled by you but must contain valid registration details

TPsiCrypt component then allows the client to run the delivered software free of charge for the specified number of tries.  The client sees a window with messages like the one shown below,  every time your application is run

At the end of the trial period, the client sees the window shown below.

The client may now wish to purchase the software, because that is the only way in which he can run it again.  There are no methods which must be included on the parent form,  no functions that need to be called,  the TPsiCrypt component does it all.  It even protects itself.

If a client wishes to purchase the software which contains the TPsiCrypt component,  the client simply calls the developer (YOU) and requests a key.  The developer (YOU) supplies this key in exchange for payment.  The key is obtained from the TPsiCrypt component by the provision of the Product Name and the UserName.  The window shown below will allow you to enter these details and by pressing the 'Get Key' button, a Registration Key is displayed for use by YOUR client.

The 'Get Registration Key' window is accessed from within your application with the code line;

  PsiCrypt1.ShowRegWin;

Of course you will not be given access to this facility without payment. and neither will your client be able to access this window unless the TPsiCrypt component has been purchased by them

Even if your client owns the TPsiCrypt component,  your software is still protected, because in order to genrate the Registration Key  the Product Name must be known, and only YOU (the developer) have that information.

The Component

TPsiCrypt comes in the file PsiCrypt.DCU, PsiCrypt.DFM and PsiCrypt.DCR, move these to the library directory and add the component to Delphi in the usual manner.

There is also a file CryptPrj.EXE which allows you to see the effect of the TPsiCrypt component.

Of course you are not allowed to access the full power of the TPsiCrypt component without Registration, but  for $US 25.00 plus Shipping and Handling YOU can have full access.  Register the TPsiCrypt Component NOW and receive full rights to future updates as these become available.
