CPC, a leader in captioning technology, relies on SafeNet Sentinel HASP to protect and license its software. Sentinel HASP allows CPC to license its $2,000-$9,000 software to single machines, preventing unauthorized use. This protects CPC's revenue and intellectual property. Sentinel HASP also makes it easy for CPC to remotely update software licenses and upgrade keys for new software versions, allowing CPC to adapt to changing technologies while maintaining protection. Using Sentinel HASP, CPC can offer innovative captioning software securely without risk of being unprotected.
