Drawings we secured using the evaluation version of CADVault for AutoCAD have been modified in ways we had disallowed. How is this possible and how can this to be avoided?
To explode a secured CADVault into its original objects with all logic intact, the recipient needs to get Owner rights to the CADVault. Normally only the originator (you) and the Master (the supervisor who installed the software) are able to get Owner rights. However, with vaults created using the Evaluation version of CADVault for AutoCAD, everyone can get Owner rights to secured objects simply by using the unprotected Master role. This is why the Evaluation version is free: the vaults created by it are not secure! As soon as you authorize the Evaluation version to become a commercial version, the Master role becomes protected by a password only you (or the supervisor) knows. Then of course nobody else can open the Master role and thus nobody else can get Owner rights to your vaults.
