Lock License USB flash drives provide USB write protection at the hardware controller level. The write protection will follow the device. What is so unique about Nexcopy’s Lock License technology is the drive is read-only by default. The content owner can temporarily disable the write protection to data load or update the drive content. This is how USB media should always be, read-only be default!
The files sit on a read-only flash drive or WORM (Write Once, Read Many) flash drive, from which content cannot be deleted, formatted, erased, altered or manipulated. A password is required upon first use to make the USB drive writable. Password access can be obtained through our free GUI software or through the free command line tool. Custom integration for Lock License drive is free of charge without license requirements.
This is a hardware solution and requires Nexcopy drives.
Lock License technology turns the USB market on its head because the default state of the drive is read-only. Even when the password is correctly entered and the drive becomes writable, the moment the USB is disconnected from the host computer, the drive reverts to a write protect state. Because of this configuration, it is impossible for a user to accidently leave the USB writable. Each Lock License drive can house a unique password that allows for every company to have its own customized solution.
This creative approach yields a very secure solution for write protecting USB drives. The Lock License drive is the strongest first line of defense against malicious software jumping onto the drive without the user knowing. It is impossible to infect a USB drive when it is read-only.
