Domain lock was developed by ArtistScope to prevent unauthorized use of images. If the encrypted image is displayed from another web site, it will be useless. Note that domain lock is only secure when locking to a single domain or web site address.
To enable testing of your CopySafe Web pages and images (without a web server) by viewing them locally in your web browser, domain lock is not effective for 48 hours. After 48 hours the images uploaded to you web site will be domain locked. Note that open testing may not be available with all web browsers.
Extra licenses can be registered at
greatly discounted prices (once you have your first
license). When multiple licenses are registered you are
provided with the one program that can domain lock to a
single domain that you nominate, or you can encrypt your
images for use on all domains. While this can be
convenient and time saving, it is not recommended for the
most security option.
When images are encrypted for domain
lock on a single site, your registration code is embedded
into the image file and cannot be altered. But when the
same images are encrypted for use on several sites, the
key code is not embedded in the image and a plain text
file is created that lists the domains for use.
Since the release of Java 1.6 the
regkey file format used in earlier versions of CopySafe
will only work if the server has been configured to allow
.dat as a mime type.
Every licensed program includes an additional license for use at "localhost". If you have a demo you may find that it is licensed for localhost for testing purposes. The localhost license can also be used within a home or corporate network (an intranet).
For testing purposes the localhost license ca be used on personal web servers, such as the one that can be enabled with Windows XP Pro. If you don't have XP Pro and only have Windows XP Home Edition , third party personal web server software can be purchased and installed. To visit your site at localhost, simply type in http://localhost in your web browser's address field.
To display web content from a CD while offline, you need software that creates a personal web server such as ArtistScope CD. ArtisCD encrypts your pages and images into a single archive and is fully compatible with CopySafe Web running at localhost.
We have not issued license key codes in our
copy protection software since the early versions of
Secure Image. Instead, each license is custom compiled
with your license key embedded into the executable
program. Each time an extra license is registered, a new
executable is compiled to include all of your domains.
Subsequently your images cannot be misused
and you can have confidence in your application by knowing
that CopySafe Web cannot be redistributed as pirated software.
