FL Corporate is a tool for protection of business applications within local networks. The protected product can be used simultaneously by several users.

During the expo StarForce hosted traditional anti-piracy event. The leading Russian game publishers such as 1C, Akkela and Russobit-M in cooperation with StarForce provided approximately a thousand CDs with games which were exchanged for several thousand pirated CDs of various content. After the exhibition the discs were destroyed.
This was a rare case when pirated CDs were voluntarily surrendered opposed to being officially withdrawn by authorities. StarForce Technologies one of the world’s leaders in copy protection will continue such actions on regular basis to evolve the habit of using licensed products.
