Protection

Elipse Power contains a tool to protect projects or libraries. With this item, users can protect file content against non-authorized edition, visualization, or execution. To use this resource, right-click the project's name in Organizer and select the Protection option.

File protection

File protection

This option contains two types of protection: Edition and Execution.

Protection against Edition: Protects a file against non-authorized changes or views. This resource is used to prevent a certain library or object from accidental changes, or from copying specific procedures known only by a developer. Elipse Power provides a control over edition of these projects or libraries

Protection against Execution: This option is used to protect a file against non-authorized execution. To do so, users must request the recording of a password in a protection device, which is performed by Elipse Software. This protects non-authorized copies of a project, for example

 

When a .lib or .prj file is opened in Elipse Power Studio, it starts by showing a gray icon Protection active with a padlock indicating that it is protected and its content cannot be accessed. To access the content of this file, right-click this icon and select the Open with password option. After typing a password and granting access, this icon changes to Protection inactive, indicating that this file is now accessible.

 

IMPORTANT

These implemented protections cannot be undone in case of password loss. Therefore, when protecting a certain file, users must keep this password in a safe place. This ensures that they can use that file when needed.
