What happens when the end user plays a LaserLock disc? What if it is a copy?
When a user launches an application protected with LaserLock, he must have the original disc inside of the drive of his PC. The LaserLock software verifies the authenticity of the physical signature before the actual application starts. Authentication takes 15-25 seconds depending on the drive. A customized bitmap can be shown during the authentication process that informs the user to wait. If LaserLock identifies the disc inside the drive as an illegal copy, or if there is no disc inside the drive, a customisable text can be shown in a standard windows message-box informing the user to insert the original disc inside his drive.
