UniKey Video Protector

UniKey Video Protect Tool has two parts:

UniKey Video Protector

This tool is for vendors to encrypt their video file(s) and then send the encrypted video file(s) to their end users. If the correct UniKey dongle has not been inserted into the end user's computer, then the encrypted video file(s) cannot be accessed or used.

UniKey Video Player

This tool is for end users to access the encrypted video file(s) after inserting the correct UniKey dongle into their computer. The encrypted video file(s) will by default only work with the UniKey Video Player. If a vendor wants to use their own player, please contact our support team to ask for the respective libraries and APIs in order to integrate the UniKey video protection solution with their own player. Then your video player will be able to access the encrypted video files.

Please make sure you have the latest version of the UniKey SDK installed, it can be found at: https://www.esecutech.com/downloads

If you do not have the password required to open the download, then please contact support at: https://www.esecutech.com/support

UniKey Video Encryptor important settings

Bind HID is used for binding the encrypted video file to your dongle's unique Hardware ID, this will allow only this UniKey dongle to access the encrypted video file.

Bind SID is used for binding the encrypted video file to your self-defined software ID, this will allow end users to play the same encrypted video file with different UniKey dongles. In order to share the encrypted video file, please keep the Bind HID option unchecked.

Bind Module is used to bind the encrypted video file with your dongles' license modules. UniKey STD, PRO and Time have 64 license modules to use, while UniKey Drive has 256 modules. After binding the encrypted video file with the specific module, the encrypted video file can only be accessed by that UniKey dongle for as long as the bound module is active.
