DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyedAccess is an MS Access add-on module that protects your Access application from software piracy and enables you to make secure trial/shareware versions of your application. Only a key provided by you will unlock the full features of your application, and software pirates are prevented from copying, reinstalling, restoring the registry, or modifying registry keys to get around registration screens. 

With KeyedAccess, your application can prompt end-users for a key that, once entered and validated, will unlock the full features of your application. This enables you to create trial/shareware versions of your MS Access application where certain functionality is locked away until the end-user registers your software and receives a valid key from you.

Additionally, when KeyedAccess functions in Installation Serial Number and Unlock Code mode, the Unlock Codes you provide to end-users cannot be used on other computers. This means that the end-user cannot copy or install your application on another computer and use it without requesting another Unlock Code from you.  KeyedAccess also functions in 16-digit Reg ID/Product Key mode where you can provide Reg ID/Product Keys (ex.: JJT3-876T-KE3U-99WB) to registered users to unlock your application, but these Reg ID/Product Keys can be used on any computer.

KeyedAccess is available for Access 97, 2000, 2002/XP, and 2003.
