Global Garde™ Customer FAQ
My client uses an installer
to install their content to the end-user’s hard drive, what
is the process?
If your client uses an installer
(MSI, InstallShield, etc.) then it needs to be handled differently.
Your client needs to send you their files before putting
them into an installer so Global Garde™ can properly protect
the files. If your client doesn’t want to send you their
files, then they can use the one-time encoder option; your
client can directly install Global Garde™ on their files
using their computers and send you the protected version
ready to begin the mastering process.
My client doesn’t use any
.exe files, can they still use Global Garde™?
Yes. Global Garde™ will still create a FirstRun.EXE file
that needs to be run first to bond the content to the end-user’s
computer. FirstRun.EXE requires Internet access to complete
the authentication process.
My client uses non-standard
exe files, is that a problem?
Maybe. Global Garde™ uses high order fuzzy math (Quantum
Physics) coupled with Microsoft compliant standard EXE files
to achieve its amazing level of protection. However, occasionally
non-standard EXE files will not be encoded correctly (usually
resulting in encoder error). IF that does happen, then we
need to examine your client’s raw files to develop a patch
that will work for your client. (90% of nonstandard EXE
issues are resolved within 48 hours).
What information is collected
of the end-user during the authentication process?
The authentication process collects the end-user’s IP Address,
Date/Time authentication was used, & End-user’s e-mail address.
Are there any files types
that won’t work with Global Garde™?
Global Garde™ will work with any file type; however there
are some file types that currently have limited support
due to licensing agreements; mp3. Currently we do not encode
mp3 files due to legal constraints.
Does Global Garde™ protect
pdf files?
Yes
Does the client (or us)
have to modify any files?
No. Do not modify the autorun.ini, FirstRun.EXE should not
be placed in the autorun.ini.
How much space is required
on the CD, DVD, USB Drive, Flash Drive, etc.?
Version 1.30 & up only requires 100Kb – 300Kb of space!
