| Matrix Dongle | Tho complete reason is to shield software licenses in opposition to software piracy and the second one software is to recognise cozy internet login to any on line databases. This is inclusive in all Matrix dongles |
| Connector | USB (connector type A) / LPT (SUB D 25) |
| Power Consumption | 5 mW, power supply via the interface. No battery is necessary |
| MCU | ASIC microcontroller with security features, 16 bit CMOS,
writing speed: 1.2 – 4.7 ms/kbyte |
| Integration in the software | 1. Manually with a customized API integration in the software source code. 2. Automatically with the tool Mx-Crypt to protect immediately EXE and DLL
files. With this method a source code isn’t necessary
3. Floating Licenses: Up to 255 network licenses with only one Dongle.
Again two methods: Either automatically with Mx-Net or with TCP/IP |
| Memory | EEPROM-memory, standard: 60 or 316 bytes, optionally up to 8 kbytes |
| Configuration | Ex works delivered with the UserCode and initial values if this is necessary.
No drivers necessary. With programmable LED and usable unique serial number. Network functionality is standard for all Matrix Dongles |
| Number of licenses each dongle | Each data field within the dongle is able to contain a few thousand different license keys. These could be functions, components or separate software applications. |
| Specification | Products: RoHS 2002/95/CE/FCC/WEEE 2002/95/EC Reg.-No. DE 22126100 Tdi GmbH: DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 Reg.-No. DE-331810 QM |
| Data Integrity | > 10 years – we give also 10 years of warranty in proper use |
| Writing Cycles | 1,000,000 cycles guaranteed, tested > 10,000,000 |
| Devices on the same port | USB: Theoretic 250 devices on each port,
LPT: Theoretic 55 after each other |
| Communication | Bidirectional encrypted between dongle, application and API. The keys are not transferred outside the dongle |
| Encryption | XTEA en-/decryption 128-bit of all Matrix models complete inside the dongle. Standard-algorithms as 3DES, AES or RSA available |
| Some parts of security | A number of anti-debug, anti-cloning, obfuscators, anti-reverse-engineering, Anti-process-dump procedures implemented. Further on:
– PCB with IC’s complete sealed
– Hacker-Lock locks the dongle if there is an attack
– any access with different random values
– optional write protection via MasterKey
– EXE-Crypt presently most secure system, also for .NET
– Up to 16 different 128 bit encryption algorithms are exchangeable
– all encryptions / decryptions are complete inside the dongle |
| Operating Systems | DOS, all MS-Windows up to Windows 10, Linux-32/64, Mac-OSX |
| Matrix Tools | Matrix offers professional tools for a perfect license management:
– Mx-Admin: Professional tool to manage and program all Matrix dongles
– EXE-Crypt: A very powerful tool to protect completely automatic DLL’s and
EXE- files. With several effective settings, also for .NET and all Macromedia
– Mx-NET: With Mx-NET are 2 comfortable ways available to realize LAN or
WAN network functionality. With only 1 dongle in the network up to 255
floating licenses. The first method is proprietary with no specific protocol.
Very easy. The second available method is based on a TCP/IP open source
sample. With this you can make your customized license management.
– Mx-Remote: Matrix Remote Update is a tool to create EXE files. After
start at the customer’s PC, the dongle memory is updated exactly as
requested. This can operate automatically. Also available as API integration
in your customer management system
– Mx-Web-Logon: : A powerful tool. The dongle as USB token. To ensure
authorized access to any web databases. Easy and secure
remote-controlled software activation and user verification
– Mx-check: For monitoring the system stability, the interfaces and the
dongle functionality, directly at the customer’s computer |
