The client's testimonial

Problem: a unique video course designed for corporate learning needs protection against copying and unauthorized use/distribution.

Project type: turnkey protection with interface customization.

Project start: 2014.

Client: Practicum Group.

Practicum Group has been consulting and training in the field of corporate sales since 2006. As a result, from the series of the most successful trainings a training course was created. The course was called "PROFESSIONAL: the Seller Training System".

Project features

Interface customization

An expensive product should look expensive. It must have a presentable appearance and a unique design. In this regard the client had prepared layouts of the player interface pages. During the time of cooperation, the design of the course was changed several times in accordance with the wishes of the client.

Copy protection

The StarForce technology provides encryption of a video and, as a result, the file receives a random name and is placed into a container. Only a special player developed by StarForce can open a protected file. Binding to a material object - a user's computer, a server or a USB flash drive prevents copying. Inasmuch as each device has unique parameters (type, serial number), a copy of a protected video can be fixed to it.

Binding to a personal computer and a local server

The Practicum Group course is mainly intended for corporate trainings within the company. Therefore, in addition to the standard binding to parameters of a user's computer with a serial number, the project uses a binding to a local server. In this case, there is no need to activate access on a computer of each student - the system simply limits a number of simultaneously running copies within the network. This is convenient if different employees should take the training in turn.

Additional passwords

To further protect against unauthorized use, passwords was integrated into the interface into different menu sections. The system also allows to embed questions that are displayed during the video playback.
