Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9966386A1] The present invention affords a software developer the ability to influence and/or control a copy of an application after he has lost physical possession of that copy. Baitware enables this through the inclusion of one or more features whose inclusion or removal, whose activation or subsequent deactivation are absolutely denied to the end user. Baitware extends this protection through a multilayer set of requirements, including fixing the copy of the application to one or more specific machines, registering this information at a remote server and subsequently transmitting to valid users only the correct keys to activate or deactivate usage blocking features.
