Helping you create better Microsoft Access applications

KeyedAccess

KeyedAccess is an add-on module for Microsoft® Access® that handles product key/unlock code validation, giving you the ability to create secure trial/shareware versions of your Access applications, or to enforce monthly or yearly software license renewal. Only a key provided by you will fit the unique lock that KeyedAccess creates on each end-user's computer, and software pirates are prevented from copying, reinstalling, backdating, restoring the registry, or modifying registry keys to get around registration screens.

With KeyedAccess you can:

Protect your Access application from software piracy
Ensure that your registered application does not get copied to another computer
Create a trial period based on days, record insertions, or uses
Enforce monthly, 3-month, 6-month, or yearly software license renewal
Generate machine or user specific unlock codes
Enforce user licenses in a (non-clustered) Terminal Services environment.
Warn users when trial or license period is about to expire
Use new wizard for easy implementation

Supports Access 97 through 2010, ADP, Microsoft® SQL Server®, and more.
