■What is CodeMeter for Software Protection and Licensing? It is a solution that integrates license management and copy protection for software and embedded devices. It protects software from illegal copying, tampering, and analysis, and supports the monetization of software through flexible licensing operations. ■What CodeMeter Can Do 1. Prevention of Software Piracy and Tampering It protects software from malicious reverse engineering and unauthorized use through encryption, tampering detection, and anti-debugging features. It is also characterized by the ability to apply without modifying the source code. 2. Flexible License Management It allows for the configuration of various license types tailored to business models, such as validity period, usage count, feature-based, device-specific, and subscription licenses. Licenses can be provided in file format or as hardware dongles. 3. Wide Compatibility from PCs to Embedded Devices It supports a wide range of platforms, from PC applications on Windows, Linux, and macOS to embedded Linux, RTOS, and microcontrollers. Multiple editions are available according to the intended use.

■Specific Measures to Solve Challenges in Protecting and Selling Python While Python offers high development efficiency, it faces challenges such as easy source code analysis and unauthorized copying due to its interpreted nature. Additionally, there are issues related to achieving continuous monetization, offline support, and simplifying license management during sales. CodeMeter protects Python assets and enables appropriate monetization. 1. Encryption Method By using CodeMeter to encrypt Python software, internal analysis and reverse engineering are prevented. The encrypted code is only decrypted at runtime, ensuring the safe protection of source code and algorithms. Depending on the application, options for encryption include Python code encryption or encryption of Cython-generated binaries. 2. Setting License Conditions With CodeMeter, flexible license conditions can be set for encrypted Python software. - Executable only by specific users - Limited to specific hardware - Time-limited (subscription) - Billing based on usage frequency and duration This allows for the prevention of unauthorized use while achieving continuous monetization of Python software.
