Key Features of TSFD Publisher with USB Copy Protection

Software Copy Protection for Applications

The tsfd publisher delivers advanced software copy protection for native EXE files, .NET applications, and WPF programs. Strong anti-copying and anti-debugging mechanisms protect your software from reverse engineering and unauthorized execution. Security features such as access control, host limitation, and time-based usage restrictions can be enabled or disabled with ease. Protection is applied silently and remains fully transparent to end users, requiring no programming knowledge and only minutes to deploy.

---

Advanced Data Protection for Digital Content

With industry-leading USB copy protection, the tsfd publisher allows you to secure almost any data type, including PDF documents, images, video, audio, HTML web pages, and proprietary file formats. Usage rights such as save-as, printing, copy-paste, and time limits can be precisely controlled. Protected data remains secure whether accessed through proprietary software or common third-party applications like Adobe Reader, media players, and web browsers.

---

Read-Only USB and Malware Protection

Hardware-level write protection is the safest method to prevent deletion, modification, or formatting of protected data. TrusCont’s read-only USB protection is independent of device type, file system, and operating system, ensuring maximum security wherever the USB flash drive is used. This approach also provides strong defense against viruses and malware. Unused storage space can be partitioned for general user data while keeping protected content isolated and secure.

---

CD/DVD/BD-ROM Emulation and Autorun Support

CD/DVD/BD-ROM emulation enables USB flash drives to behave like optical media, supporting true Autorun and Autoplay functionality—even on legacy systems such as Windows XP and Vista. This feature is ideal for migrating software, games, and multimedia content from CDs or DVDs to secure, copy-protected USB flash drives. Additional partitions can be created for user storage and secure content updates.

---

Secure USB Content Updates

The tsfd publisher includes a robust and flexible update mechanism. Flash drives can be updated locally or remotely after distribution to customers. Updates can be generic or targeted to specific products or users. Predefined overwrite passwords allow secure updates even on write-protected USB drives. Content can be overwritten and re-protected an unlimited number of times within a 12-month update window.

Interpretation: Which Solution Is Right for You?

TSFD publisher
Best for publishers who need enterprise-grade USB copy protection with broad file support, strong anti-piracy security, hardware-enforced read-only features, and a smooth user experience without drivers. Ideal for distribution of software, media, documentation, training suites, and corporate data.

Dongle-Based Protection
Suitable for high-security enterprise applications where hardware tokens are standard (e.g., CAD/CAM, engineering, finance). Strong security but may require drivers and has constrained storage.

Software-Only DRM Protection
Appropriate for low-risk digital content where ease of deployment outweighs security concerns. Limited against cracking and can be bypassed by advanced attackers.
