Software copy protection mechanisms

Security and Copy Protection
This chapter provides information about software copy protection for DEFINITY
ONE or IP600.
Software copy protection mechanisms
This section provides information about software copy protection methods for the
installation, repair, and upgrade of procedures related to the TSC/COE.
Copying software from one machine to another is more of an issue with DEFINITY
ONE or IP600's Windows 2000 Server platform running the 3 primary applications
(DEFINITY, Intuity AUDIX, and Avaya Site Administration) than with a proprietary
system.
Security measures add a level of impedance (time, money, expertise, etc.) to the
process to discourage copying without permission. The possibility exists for
someone with physical access to break into a system. There are 2 types of
software protection in the DEFINITY ONE or IP600 environment: feature and copy
protection.

Feature protection

Feature protection has specific feature protection capabilities or capacities within
an application. It controls the capabilities provided by the application. For
example, the DEFINITY feature Translation copy protection supports a "customer
options" administration form to tailor operation of DEFINITY to a specific
customer.
Copy protection
Copy protection prevents software copying. A special mechanism associated with
the DEFINITY ONE or IP600 license file prevents the software from running on
other systems.
