USB Copy Protection

Advanced USB Flash Drives

How it Works

Copy Secure is a hardware and software USB copy protection solution. Software installation is not required, nor are admin rights.

  • Purchase the USB media, which has the Copy Secure license on the drive, from Nexcopy.
  • Using the Nexcopy wizard utility or Nexcopy duplicator system, data load the Copy Secure drive. Our software will encrypt, copy protect and lock your content to the drive.
  • Once done, send the USB to your client. The client will connect the drive and view the copy protected content directly from the flash drive

Advantages of USB Copy Protection

Copy protect PDF files, MP4 video files, MP3 audio files, text files, HTML pages and more. Nexcopy is the only multi-platform hardware and software copy protection solution available for in-house quick-turn, with total control to protect files that are important to you. This is more than encryption, which is an important distinction to understand. The end user is not required to install any software in order to view the files.

High Performance, High Functionality

The Copy Secure flash drive is both a hardware and software solution that encrypts and copy protects your valuable files and write protects the device so the files cannot be deleted, manipulated or formatted off the drive. Copy Secure drives are high-performance devices that offer the best read/write speeds to maximize functionality.

The Digital Rights Management (DRM) software used to data load the Copy Secure drives comes with optional file settings to maximize protection. The copy protection license is tied to the flash drive. As long as you physically have the drive, you will have the copy protection features. There is no annual license requirement.

Understanding the Copy Secure Solution

If you have intellectual property worth protecting from illegal copying, duplication or redistribution, Nexcopy offers Copy Secure flash drives for that very purpose. This is the technology our copy protection is based upon. The Copy Secure flash drive is both a hardware and software copy protection and encryption solution. These drives are high performance devices that provide the optimal level of read/write speeds to optimize the functionality of the copy protection software loaded on the drive.

Digital Rights Management

The Copy Secure drive has Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect your intellectual property. Our definition of copy protection is the ability for someone to see the files, but not be able to save, print or share those files. Our DRM security includes features such as print restriction, copy and paste restriction, inability for Windows and Mac print screens, time expiration of files, inability to save a file, and much more.

There is a big difference between encryption and copy protection for your data. Nexcopy is the only company that offers true USB Copy Protection, not password-protected encryption, which is what nearly every other company is offering.

Multi-Platform Solutions

The Nexcopy USB copy protection solution works in both Mac and Windows computers. Our USB copy protection solution is the only solution that works in both operating systems. This makes our product ideal for any situation or requirement one may have for protecting their valuable information.

The Copy Secure flash drive is a standalone solution that does not require an internet connection or authentication from some off-site server. Everything runs 100% from the flash drive itself. There is no software to install to see the files, no administrator rights required; just plug in the drive and access the content.

Schools, corporations, government agencies, graphic designers, artists, movie producers and production agencies all have used and depend upon Nexcopy’s Copy Secure flash drives.
