ABSTRACT :
Software piracy has been major issue for software industries. Piracy has become so prevalent over the Internet that poses a major threat to software product companies. With the help of malicious codes and programs, hackers or an intruder can gain access to Software the system and steal the information. Piracy by users is generally believed to harm both software firms(through lower profits) and buying customers (through higher prices).This project is intended to maintain software piracy protection and assures that it is being accessed only by the authenticated users. Software piracy continues to be a significant challenge for developers, with billions of dollars lost annually due to unauthorized distribution and use of copyrighted software. This abstract proposes a comprehensive overview of strategies and innovations aimed at combating software piracy and safeguarding intellectual property rights.The abstract begins by delineating the various forms of software piracy prevalent in today’s digital landscape, including illegal downloads, counterfeit distribution, and unauthorized copying. It highlights the economic ramifications for developers, ranging from revenue loss to diminished innovation incentives. Subsequently, the abstract surveys existing piracy protection measures, such as license key activation, digital rights management (DRM) systems, and encryption techniques. While effective to a certain extent, these traditional methods often face circumvention by sophisticated hackers and crackers.
