Free Software, Free Online Accounts and Free Virus Protection
We publish free software to promote our custom business software development services. To be able to use our free promotional software in full version, our users are required to create and maintain free accounts with ZPSSoft.com. Why?
“Hacked” software, illegally bundled with “key generators” are the oldest yet the easiest ways to distributing viruses…
We give away our promotional software. Its free in full version for everyone so there is no need for running the 3rd party “key generators”. But not every one of our users was aware of that before it was to late. In order to assure that our products are not abused and bundled with malicious software, before start-up, our software are verified for the authenticity by our online web servers. Only the genuine software are allowed to run. This method provides our users with unique protection against counterfeit copies and malicious software they may contain. Plus it allows our software usability statistics.
Using Software Offline and without Free Online Accounts
Although our online software verification successfully protects us and our users against malicious software, we are aware that some people may dislike the idea of having to log in ZPSSoft.com prior to use of our free software. Some may don’t have the permanent internet connection, some simply may don’t like to be connected when performing certain, particularly finance related, tasks. So, we introduced SCL to our FS (Free Software).
SCL stands for Single Computer License. It works like this: Free copy generates unique serial number and ( with users approval) submits that number to ZPSSoft. ZPSSoft then delivers software that works offline and in the full version but only for that one (single) computer. Because SCL cannot be generated automatically, SCL softwares are not free but once purchased they will not need internet connection in order to run full versions.
