Device-Based Authentication Solution Simplifies Software Trials and License Enforcement for Leading Zero-day Malware Vendor

IRVINE, Calif., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Uniloc USA Inc., the leader in device-based authentication solutions for managing activation and security for software and games, today announced that Blue Ridge Networks, a leading provider of enterprise and government endpoint and network security solutions, has implemented Uniloc's SoftAnchor(TM) technology as its software trial and license-enforcement solution.

"Software companies need solutions that balance authentication and copy protection with an optimized user experience," said Brad Davis, CEO at Uniloc. "With Blue Ridge Networks' long history and sterling reputation in the security industry, its selection of SoftAnchor technology for the protection of their products validates the reliability and flexibility of the SoftAnchor solution."

Blue Ridge Networks is an established leader in endpoint and network security solutions. Working with Avangate as its e-commerce partner for software distribution, Blue Ridge Networks recently made its anti-malware product, AppGuard(TM), available for purchase on the Web, providing laptop and PC users with additional protection against the relentless attempts by hackers to access data and gain control of systems.

Blue Ridge Networks required a highly secure license-enforcement model to support AppGuard trial and production installations. Working with aggressive go-to-market schedules, the company needed a solution that could easily integrate with the Avangate system. The SoftAnchor patented physical device recognition technology is seamlessly integrated with Avangate CodeBox, and enables the secure, scalable and flexible license-management capabilities required by Blue Ridge Networks.

"We have customers with unique deployment requirements, and Uniloc provides us with the flexibility to fine-tune settings to adapt to our customers' needs while thoroughly protecting our assets," said Mike Fumai, CEO at Blue Ridge Networks. "Additionally, the Uniloc team is highly-responsive and consistently takes extra steps to ensure our satisfaction. We view Uniloc as a valuable partner, and I am happy to recommend SoftAnchor to any software vendor."
