In a matter of hours, we go live, and orders start filtering in. They pick up and it seems like the servers are humming. It's good, because over the previous six months, to fund all the steps, we invest a sum that for most of us represents several lifetimes of savings, and now we need to recover that investment to go forward. All's well the first few days, then the switch, somehow, flips off. And another switch, just as fast, turns on, but it's on someone else's server.
Devastation kicks in.
Pro Pack was stolen, and we were overwhelmed at the volume to which it was available. We push back the tide but knew that the key to our success was indeed a key. Without some form of protection, truly solid protection that would stall CD duplicators and recreational thieves, we were in jeopardy. And ultimately, that puts Poser in jeopardy. Earlier research had pointed us in the direction of a cross platform locking system that would allow Pro Pack to check for a server authorization that would originate on our end, and generate a unique code to be securely stored on your hard drive.
