Title
Microcosm - The Software Protection Experts
Description
The company has thrived by designing and producing innovative products for PCs. We produced the world's first PC RAM-disk in the early '80s followed by the world's first disk cache for PCs.
In 1989 we produced a totally new type of floppy disk copy protection system that was easy to use but immune to attacks from hackers. In 1995 CopyControl Floppy received the Ziff-Davis award for software excellence. CopyControl Floppy was followed by a succession of copy protection products that provide industrial strength security without hassle. CopyControl UnLock-It (an activation based copy protection system) provided protection for software on any media (including CDROM and the Internet). The KeyCall system enabled these activation codes to be supplied and applied totally automatically via the Internet or linked to an automated online payment system. CopyControl Try-It allowed software developers to supply secure evaluation copies of their software.
These software based copy protection products were augmented by the introduction of hardware copy protection devices (Dinkey Dongles) that maintained the same high level of security by means of a small hardware key that fitted into the user's parallel or USB port. The innovative design of these devices enabled them to be much smaller and less expensive than those of our competitors.
