AntiDuplicate

AntiDuplicate is a lightweight piece of software designed for advanced users who require an SDK environment to create USB hardware keys for various software solutions whose copies cannot be commercially distributed.

First off, you should know that although the setup is quite intuitive, it is recommended that you do not install the application in the Program File folder, as otherwise there is a chance that you cannot access some of the settings.

Upon launch, you come face to face with an outdated and unpolished window that also acts as the application's interface. The UI is user-friendly and only includes a few options, namely specifying the software that you want to create protection, selecting the directory where the resulted key drives are going to be placed and allowing the application to prepare the demo drive.

As you probably guessed, to remove protection for the desired software solution, you can access the function with the same name from the File menu.

It is necessary to mention that the program does allow some configuration, although it is advisable that you avoid altering the default settings unless you know what you are doing. For instance, choosing the hidden data compatible option entails that the utility deletes all files on the USB disk, so unless you have them stored in another location, you risk to lose critical information.

You can specify if the new hardware key should be written with optimal protection, select a new alias name, the executable to run along with the parameters and the application status. On a side note, you can only use 11 characters to add a new label to the volume.

Given the features it comes with, AntiDuplicate is a utility designed for advanced users who commonly work with programming languages, such as C++ Builder, Intel Visual Fortran, VB.NET, PureBasic or Microsoft Visual C++, just to name a few.
