Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03054671A1] Method and device for position controlled copy protection of a software element, in which the method includes the steps to, in a computer, initiate an installation program for the software element by input of indicated position data and an address code relating to a device which can be positioned position said device to obtain detected position data for the device compare indicated position data with detected position data and approve the installation of the software element in the computer depending on said comparison. An advantage with the indicated solution is that the copy protection according to the invention is efficient directly at installation of a software element, and therefore does not allow unallowed access to the digital material which the software element represents for subsequent copying.
