[Event Participation] Participating in an event for robot system integrators on November 2 (Wednesday)!

For software imitation prevention and tampering protection! We can handle license checks not only online but also in offline environments such as factories without internet access.

As globalization progresses, are you aware that "software licenses" can enhance profitability through different licensing models? On the other hand, issues such as unauthorized copying and infringement of licensing rights, which were not problematic within Japan, pose significant challenges when expanding overseas, necessitating robust countermeasures. [Addressing the following challenges and needs] 1. We want to protect software, applications, and AI models for FA/industrial robots from unauthorized copying and theft. 2. We want to implement not only one-time sales but also subscriptions and additional feature options. 3. We want to prevent reverse engineering and unauthorized modifications of the software. 4. We want to protect the output files created by users in development environment applications. [Reasons why CodeMeter is chosen] ■ Encryption of software without modifying the code ■ Licensing that enables access control and diverse revenue models ■ Scalability of use cases that start small and grow large *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

• Software (middle, driver, security, etc.)

A useful tool for protecting and encrypting Python applications that are easily decipherable by third parties due to being interpreted.

AxProtector Python is a Python version of the encryption tool provided by CodeMeter, designed to protect Python applications from reverse engineering and unauthorized copying with simple operations. After selecting the files to be protected, there are three options for encryption with AxProtector Python: - Automatically add a license check and encrypt the entire Python application (Basic Settings) - Protect the Python application with modular encryption that allows users to activate features individually (Custom Licensing) - Use AxProtector Python as a shield against reverse engineering (no user license required) (IP Protection Mode) To achieve excellent security, AxProtector Python encrypts Python applications method by method, and during use, decryption/processing occurs only in a protected environment at runtime. This means that the original Python code only temporarily resides in the computer's working memory.

• Encryption and authentication

Easily set up a system that uses a USB dongle as a license key for authentication on PCs and devices. Compatible with Win/Mac/Linux.

When developing a software business, it is as important to consider how to provide licenses and authentication as it is to examine licensing models such as subscriptions. 'CodeMeter' enables software protection and licensing, and it can provide created licenses via a USB hardware dongle. By offering licenses through a dongle, software can be used in both online and offline environments, allowing for proper license management. Below are the benefits from the perspective of end users (your customers) when licenses are provided via a dongle: ■ Convenient for portability: The license is stored in the dongle, making it easy to move the license. ■ Easy license recovery: Even if the PC crashes, inserting the dongle into another PC allows immediate access to the software. ■ Convenient for license borrowing: Licenses can be borrowed for use in locations without internet access, such as during business trips or on-site work. ■ License redundancy: Important for mission-critical applications (ideal for hot standby and cold standby).

• Encryption and authentication

We use CodeMeter's automatic encryption tool AxProtector to strongly encrypt applications. *Free trial version available.

■Automation of Protection CodeMeter's automatic encryption tool, AxProtector, is an ideal solution that saves time and effort in software protection. By using AxProtector, you can protect your software in a completely automated manner from unauthorized use and reverse engineering. AxProtector encrypts the entire set of software you want to protect and secures it with AxEngine, a security shell. Then, the best anti-debugging and anti-disassembly methods are inserted into the software. ■Supported OS AxProtector protects executable files and libraries on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also supports Python, .NET, and JavaScript.

• Firewall and intrusion prevention
• Encryption and authentication

With a license, access restrictions are possible.

Standalone applications created using MATLAB Compiler or Simulink Compiler do not require a MATLAB/Simulink license and can be duplicated, making them convenient for free distribution to an unspecified number of people. On the other hand, if you want to implement access control for applications with requirements such as "I want it to be usable during the project period" or "I don't want it to be provided to third parties without permission," what should you do? Should we document the terms of the agreement? If you are doing business within Japan, this method may be somewhat acceptable. However, if you are expanding your business overseas, it is necessary to reconsider. Therefore, in response to concerns about the leakage or copying of code and logic developed in MATLAB, implementing access control through CodeMeter's encryption and license authentication features is effective. Additionally, by attaching conditions such as expiration dates or usage limits to the license, you can sell licenses for the standalone applications you create, which can enhance business profitability.

We will be exhibiting at the J AGRI (J Agri) / Agricultural Materials EXPO held at Gran Messe Kumamoto from May 22 (Wednesday) to May 24 (Friday), 2024. 【Booth Number】: B1-43 Outdoor Exhibition Area Japan's largest comprehensive exhibition for agriculture and livestock, Agricultural WEEK, will be renamed J AGRI starting in 2024. This is a place where you can actually see, touch, and compare products. At our booth, we will showcase our lightweight resin flooring boards "JULIGHT / SUPER JULIGHT / RAKURAKUBAN" along with new products. Starting with the agricultural-specific flooring board "RAKURAKUBAN," which can be easily laid in various scenes such as around greenhouses, agricultural work sites, temporary parking lots, for the movement of agricultural machinery and light trucks, and for protecting truck beds, there are various ways to use the lightweight resin flooring boards "JULIGHT / SUPER JULIGHT series." We offer a variety of sizes and protrusion shapes tailored to customer needs, and they are lightweight enough to be carried by hand, with excellent impact resistance, as well as superior water resistance, weather resistance, and durability, providing outstanding features not found in plywood or steel plates. We sincerely look forward to your visit.
