For
CrypKey Instant and CrypKey
SDK customers, CrypKey USBKey is a 32 MB to 4 GB flash drive software
license management solution that offers an alternative to the common

a convenient solution for customers who frequently move software or
data between computers. It's also a great tool for use with computers

a software application. To date, CrypKey offers the only combination
hardware and electronic license management solution.

move from one computer to another and require an easy, flexible
solution for transferring software licenses (i.e., those who work
both at the office and at home, or travel between remote office
locations)

license protection

backup of their software license

for flash drives

than a dongle

one-time activation fee for each software title protected and minimum
order quantities exist for most key sizes.
