Password protection options in ProtectKit3.5.

Protect your software applications by preventing unauthorized copies of your application from running.

ProtectKit3.5 protects your software applications by preventing unauthorized copies of your application from running. With a few simple steps, you can protect your application with one of the strongest copy protection systems available. ProtectKit has two protection models: Password-Type protection and Network-Type protection. Password-Type protection locks applications until they are unlocked by a unique password. Network-Type protection provides protection for applications running on a local network.

Features

Prevents unauthorized copies of your applications from running
Two protection models: Password-Type protection and Network-Type protection
Uses PC's hardware signature so applications copied to another PC will not run
Password-Type protection offers 5 kinds of passwords
Network-Type protection detects the how many application are running on a local network
Supports 64 bit operating systems and 64 bit applications
No special hardware needed: No dongles, usb locks, or other hardware
Rent or lease your software applications
3 ways to generate passwords
Be sure that every copy of your software now being used has been authorized and paid for

Password-Type protection uses a lockword and the hardware signature of the PC where the application is running to create a unique password that unlocks the application on that PC and only that PC. If the application is copied to another PC, it will not run until it has been unlocked with a new password.

Password-Type protection offers 5 types of protection: standard protection, "number of uses" protection, "number of days" protection, "number of months" protection, and "expiration date" protection. With ProtectKit3.5, you can set renewable passwords that can enable applications that have exceeded the number of uses, number of days or number of months. Being able to renew an application with a new password after that application has exceeded its allowed uses, days, or months, gives you the ability to rent or lease your software applications. Renew passwords can be generated regularly based on rental or lease agreements with your end users.

In addition to Password-Type protection, the ProtectKit3.5 offers Network-Type protection for your Win32 (Win64) applications. Network-Type protection detects the number of instances of your application that are running on a network at the same time. The ProtectKit3.5 provides the ability for these applications to communicate with each other letting you, not only detect unauthorized copies, but to disable them as well. With ProtectKit3.5, you can set the number of applications that you will allow to run simultaneously on a network.

Newtone releases ImageKit.NET2

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Applying the canvas effect filter to an image.

New version adds annotation and editing capabilities, webcam control, PDF export and wider format support.

ImageKit.NET lets you add image-processing functionality to your .NET applications quickly and easily. Retrieve images from TWAIN scanners and digital cameras, load and save image files in a variety of formats, apply image filters and transformations to your images; display images in the display, pan window, or thumbnail controls. ImageKit.NET contains components for both Windows Forms and Web Forms applications.

Updates in ImageKit.NET2

Annotate images in the ImageKit Control
The ImageKit control allows you to annotate images by displaying text, lines, and various shapes on top of the images loaded in the ImageKit Control. All annotation objects can be saved independently of the image they annotate. Saved annotations can be loaded onto different images. Annotations can be edited after they are created, they can be moved, reshaped, rotated, etc. Annotations can be embedded into image files. Annotation methods may be called with code or used via the new Toolbar Control.
Annotate images with the Toolbar Control
The new Toolbar Control is a user friendly interface that lets you annotate images visually! Simply place the Toolbar Control on your form, set it to correspond to the ImageKit Control and thats it. You can now use any or all annotation functions to edit or annotate your images, without writing a single line of code. Use the Toolbar Control on a MDI with a standard toolbar and instantly create and easy to use painting application.
Draw text, lines, shapes, and other annotation objects
Create straight lines, polylines, polygons, ellipses, pen (free hand lines), text, etc. Each is a distinct annotation object that can be placed on the loaded image, displayed, moved, altered, saved to file, or embedded in the image. By setting a file name, the PasteImage annotation object can paste a new image in the ImageKit Control. Objects are drawn by annotation methods that can be accessed via the toolbar or called independently by code. The toolbar can be designed to contain only those functions that you specify.
Edit the Annotation Objects
After creating annotation objects and placing them on an image, the objects can be moved, their shapes or contents altered, rotated, and so on. By right clicking the selected annotation objects context menu is displayed where various annotation and editing functions are available. Any functions available through the toolbar or context menu can also be called independently in the annotation methods. From the Context Menu select "Properties" and display the dialog below. This allows you to edit the annotation object after it has been created.
Saving and Loading the Annotation File
All annotation objects and settings can be saved in an annotation file that is independent from the image on which the annotations were drawn. The annotation objects saved in the annotation file can be loaded again and displayed on any image, not just the image on which they were originally drawn. Since the annotation file is an xml file, it is even possible to edit the annotations without loading them by using a text editor.
Embed annotations into the image (rasterize annotations)
All annotation objects drawn on images in the ImageKit Control can be rasterized and embedded in the image data. The resulting image can be saved in any format supported by the ImageKit.NET2.
Web Camera Controls
These controls provide functions to preview and record movies in avi format and to play movies in avi, mpeg, and other formats.
Position Images
Position images in the ImageKit Control. In scale display a small image is centered in the ImageKit Control by default. Now, you can position it anywhere within the ImageKit Control. In actual display mode, even large images can be positioned in the ImageKit Control.
Deskew Images
When a scanned image or an image saved to file is skewed, use the deskew function to repair it.
Save images to PDF Document
Save BMP or JPEG images in PDF documents using these easy to use steps: start a pdf document; add a page; add images to the page in specified locations; end the page; and end the document.
Expanded Image File Format Support
The ImageKit.NET2 includes a Plugin (Win32 Dll Files) that expand support for image formats not supported by standard .Net Framework. By including these plugin files with your application you can load and save JPEG2000 (Part1), Jpeg Progressive DCT, BMP Compressed (4 bit and 8 bit), and FPX image files.
Improved File Transfer
FTP and HTTP file transfer methods now support image data in byte array.
