The company explains that Plimloc prevents license exploitation; provides a global view of piracy-driven loss; and enables real-time license management via their Uniloc Throttling to raise or lower device activation parameters while providing the strongest software copy protection in the industry. Further, the award-winning anti-fraud capabilities of the Plimus ecommerce platform protect against fraudulent purchases, and ensure a steady and reliable stream of revenues.

Plimloc's thousands of code variations and obfuscation practices ensure maximum code protection and the highest hack-resistance available. It adds that unlike other one-solution-fits-all anti-piracy measures, in the unlikely event that any individual title is cracked, the same crack will not work with any other licensed product.

The company articulates that included in Plimloc is their global piracy and software license auditing solution, LicenseAudit. With this feature, Maximum Software is now able to quantify software piracy levels and adjust licensing strategies in real-time to set policies addressing casual sharing, open sharing and piracy. Plimloc provides real-time statistics about actual license usage with 100 percent accurate results so that license management decisions can be based on hard facts rather than assumptions. Maximum Software will also benefit from Plimloc's license throttling capability, delivering the ability to increase or decrease software copy parameters to manage the flow of help desk calls and piracy protection while optimizing viral marketing models, asserts the company.

"We are pleased to provide this business-critical capability to Maximum Software and look forward to ongoing innovations from Uniloc."
