A REAL-TIME SUPERVISING METHOD OF ILLEGAL USING OF SOFTWARE THROUGH THE INTERNET

摘要

PURPOSE: The method for monitoring the illegal use of the software on real time by using the internet is provided to solve the program piracy problem by the server system monitoring if a user has the right to use the program. CONSTITUTION: The software purchaser buys the software product from the software production(100). The purchaser tries to run the software product on the own PC(200). While the software starts, the purchaser's IP address and the software serial are transferred to the production server system(300). The purchaser's IP address and the software serial are stored in the production server system(400). The purchaser uses the related software(500). When the purchaser tries to use the software again, the purchaser's IP and the software serial are transferred to the production server system while the software starts(530). The server system checks if the transferred IP address is matched with the former saved IP address(540). If yes, the allowed purchaser can use the software(500). If not matched at the step 540, the server system recognizes the illegal use(560) and takes the necessary step(570). If the other user tries to use the software illegally(520), the step 530 - 570 are repeated.
