Solution for licensing and protection of 32-bit
and 64-bit applications

The companies and individual developers may need protection and licensing for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications from a unified database of serial numbers. The technology used in ASProtect, do not allow this, because it uses two independent bases for ASProtect 32 and APSrotect 64. We propose to consider for this task a different product – StarForce ProActive.
