How StarForce MMOG works

The game should be modified to be protected as follows

An MMO game protected by StarForce cannot be run unless it passes a number of checks confirming the following:

	The client’s application integrity		The client’s application originality
	The gaming server’s authenticity certificate

Massively multiplayer online games (MMOG) have become very popular throughout the world. Many players would like their game character’s abilities to grow quickly with little effort. That is why the use of bots, cheats and trainers are becoming widespread. It ruins the game balance between users. StarForce MMOG is used to prevent the use of unfair tactics, as well as to protect client applications and gaming servers.
