How UniKey works

Learners cannot run the course without the USB dongle plugged into the computer. The USB dongle is the key to unlocking the courseware.
All videos are encrypted to prevent piracy and can only be deciphered through the video player when the associated USB dongle is attached.
Only the UniKey Video Protector Player is able to play the encrypted media. The encrypted file is read block by block, decrypted with the Unikey, and played back with the UniKey Video Protector Player. With this method the whole video or audio file will never be stored completely in the memory. As soon as the UniKey is plugged off,the playback will be interrupted.
