inflightTM

with continued practices of illegal copying and piracy as well as the increase of unauthorised file swapping internet sites, inflight™ has moved to include ipac™ (inflight™ product activation control) technology into its new line of products.

the technology separates installation and product activation, which have long been joint processes, into two streamlined units speeding up installation dramatically. product activation is now launched the first time an inflight™ product is started, once installed.

moving away from the current industry standard, inflight™ has chosen to steer clear of online activation methods which involve special keys, codes and various other information that is sent from users computers to software vendors. whilst these methods may control come illegal copying, they don’t address the main problem of determining genuine products from pirated copies.

ipac™ technology by inflight™ confirms whether the product installed and in possession of a user is genuine. initially the product is immobilised when installed. on the first launch, users are prompted with a series of random questions about the authenticity of the original cd-rom and package. users who have purchased genuine legal inflight™ products will be able to activate their software all without an online activation process.

it will be a requirement that during the life of the product users will have to keep both the original package and disc so that the activation process can be satisfied. inflight™ believes this is a small ask considering most users keep the packaging anyway and the methods of activation are less intrusive than of the other methods utilised today.
