Task: Link an application to security hardware.

A software application should be protected against illegal copying and piracy. Therefore, it should be securely linked to a smart-card that resides on a token.

Solution: Deploy the MCFACT hardware link.

The program code of an application is protected with MCFACT and linked to the smart-card using the MCFACT hardware link. Without the smart-card the application will not run, because the MCFACT-protected program code operates properly only if the smart-card is present in the system.
