ScarletFace is an application designed to limit the number of installations of your downloadable software on your buyer's computers and to control that the user doesn't install any more application copies than an allowed number. Obviously, there is nothing entirely secure and ScarletFace does have a hole. You may stumble on it by chance, you may look for it and find it, or you may never guess it or won't find a way to bypass it. Anyway, if your application is a very appealing one and, what is more, your prospective buyers have a high computer proficiency level, we don’t recommend you to use ScarletFace. There are two protection levels in ScarletFace and even if there also is a possibility that your buyer gets lucky and bypasses them once or twice, his luck will run out sooner or later, and your software won't freely circulate among his buddies, girl or boyfriends, cousins, aunts & uncles. Main features: It prevents indesirable installations of your software by controlling and limiting their number. Let us call it license: you can limit the licensed use of your software to one computer, two computers or any other number. It is up to you to chose a reasonable number, considering that every new installation, and every new sale, increases the risk of stealing. At the same time you should not make your buyers unconfortable. If you feel that your buyers would like to install your software on a desktop and on a laptop, you may offer them two licenses at a basic price and indicate in your seller web page a price for each succesive license. ScarletFace can protect an unilimited number of different applications installed in the same computer. Just be sure that their executables don't share a directory, it would cause a conflict between their ScarletFaces.
