## Simple Copy Protection SN (Serial Number) Example License And Application

You can find this example program and license inside the folder \SoftwareShield\Pre-Compiled Examples\SimpleCopyProSN.

Note that the license project file ("CheckPT_SimpleCPExample.lpj") is provided for your reference but you should never distribute license project files (.lpj) with your actual applications.

This example license is configured to use the default SoftwareShield copy-protection (hardware bound) mechanism. The example program will not run until you enter a valid Serial Number and perform an automated online Activation with our live test CheckPoint License Server (indicating that you are "registered owner").

Below are instructions on how to test the example program and unlock it. Note that if you have not yet purchased the SoftwareShield System, while you are testing the example program, the "Demo Version" dialog may appear to remind you that the version of SoftwareShield you are using is a demo version. Simply dismiss this dialog and continue with the steps as noted. If you have already purchased the SoftwareShield System, but the "Demo Version" dialog continues to appear, be sure you have read and followed the instructions in the section: Unlocking The Demo Version Of SoftwareShield.

Note that you may wish to refer to the section How to Copy Protect Your Application for more detailed information.

### To Test The Application

Simply run the application and follow the instructions. We have provided a sample Serial Number right inside the application to simulate your original purchase of the product. Once entered a full-automated online activation will be performed illustrating unlocking a copy protected application using the CheckPoint License Server.
