Visit almost any PC Applications/PC Games portal forum, or blog these days and you’ll probably read expletives documenting the frustration of many game/application users with most anti-piracy systems (Digital Rights Management (DRM) or copy protection). Visit most developers and publishers and you’ll probably hear horror stories about piracy, lost revenue and unintended consequences of current anti-piracy technology. In summary, the current state of anti-piracy in the PC Applications/PC Games industry is:

Existing products are rapidly cracked
Onerous DRM legitimizes piracy and causes end-user outrage

ByteShield turns all this 180 degrees through a completely novel approach and design and make DRM work for all involved (that is, except the crackers).

ByteShield represents a big leap in performance:

End users: Unintrusive, convenient
Publishers: Easy to use, flexible and provides sales and usage data
Crackers: Significantly greater work effort

We do this by:

Removing code in 1000s of places and replace with fakes.
Delivering removed code from secure server
Making every installation unique and mutating
