KeyedAccess is an add-on module for Microsoft Access that handles product key/unlock code validation, giving you the ability to create secure trial/shareware versions of your Access applications, or to enforce monthly or yearly software license renewal. Only a key provided by you will unlock the full features of your application, and software pirates are prevented from copying, reinstalling, restoring the registry, or modifying registry keys to get around registration screens.

With KeyedAccess, your application can prompt end-users for a key that, once entered and validated, will unlock the full features of your application. This enables you to create trial/shareware versions of your MS Access application where certain functionality is locked away until the end-user registers your software and receives a valid key from you.

Additionally, when KeyedAccess functions in “Installation Serial Number and Unlock Code” mode, the Unlock Codes you provide to end-users cannot be used on other computers. This means that the end-user cannot copy or install your application on another computer and use it without requesting another Unlock Code from you. KeyedAccess also functions in “16-digit Reg ID/Product Key” mode where you can provide Reg ID/Product Keys (ex.: JJT3-876T-KE3U-99WB) to registered users to unlock your application, but these Reg ID/Product Keys can be used on any computer.

An easy-to use Wizard guides you through the setup process. You can configure KeyedAccess to lock your application so that a key is required to open it, or you can have a trial period where full use is allowed for a certain number of days, sessions or table record insertions. You can also create an application that requires a monthly or yearly license renewal in order to continue functioning.

Available for Access 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003.
