Dotfuscator and Microsoft's Software Licensing and Protection (SLP) Services

PreEmptive Solutions and Microsoft have recently announced the availability of new product and service offerings. These complementary offerings include PreEmptive's Dotfuscator and Runtime Intelligence Services, and Microsoft's Software Licensing and Protection Services (SLP Services). There is a strong synergy between licensing and activation requirements and the requirements to ensure broader application security on one hand and to tie more closely into business intelligence and end-user behavior on the other. In fact, we recently announced Dotfuscator Gold^TM because we feel the value of an integrated solution offering application security, application analytics and licensing activation together is greater than the demand for any of the three functions individually.

1)Protect, analyze, and monetize your .NET applications

Dotfuscator Gold is the first comprehensive instrumentation, obfuscation and optimization platform that protects, analyzes and monetizes .NET applications. Dotfuscator Gold is an integrated platform that includes all of the functionality currently included with Dotfuscator Professional PLUS the analytics delivered with Runtime Intelligence Services and the licensing and protection capabilities of Microsoft's Software Licensing and Protection Services (SLP Services).

2) Easily align product development and management with business and operational requirements

As an "instrumentation, obfuscation and protection platform," Dotfuscator Gold operates almost exclusively in the final phases of the development lifecycle offering a variety of powerful and unique benefits. This result is an unprecedented alignment between development lifecycle and product management with business and operational requirements.

3) Mine the full value of application assets

By using Dotfuscator technology and instrumentation to inject Microsoft's SLP licensing control technology into .NET applications, PreEmptive is offering the most efficient and flexible platform to protect and mine the full value of application assets.

Specifically, Dotfuscator Gold includes

• Patented enterprise obfuscation technologies
• Microsoft SLP Standard Online Services to enable rapid deployment and monetization of .NET applications utilizing code transformation, strong activation, and flexible licensing technologies and services.

  • Microsoft Software Licensing and Protection API's to enable powerful licensing business models without programming
