Secure store is a technology designed to enable a more failsafe means of storing sensitive license content on a user's machine.
Traditionally, a single file location or registry key is used within applications to store information such as usage counters, trial information and other client-specific content. Conversely, secure store works similarly to a virtual file system, by encrypting the content and then duplicating it to provide redundancy.
This method of storage is more resistant to single-point of failure attacks, which are a common method for attempting to reset trial information within software applications. Furthermore, the path of storage is uniquely defined for each user's machine, making it more resistant against generic attacks.
Within LM-X, secure store is used with borrow (See "BORROW" on page ), grace (See "GRACE" on page ), and trial licenses (See "Trial licenses" on page ) and for client store (See "Client store" on page ).
