Historically the first product of the company. Protection is based on a binding of the copy of the protected software (game) to the optical medium: to the disk CD or DVD. Advantage of this technology is the lack of need of activation on the Internet. A shortcoming – during the work with the protected application the disk should reside in the user's computer.
For check of a disk are used determination of number of sectors on certain rings of a spiral of a disk with the subsequent comparison of data retrieveds with information coded in a key. When copying an original disk on CD-R/DVD-R these data with guarantee will not match, and the procedure of check will come to the end unsuccessfully. Also StarForce uses protection against emulators for what it sets the driver in the operating system to distinguish real optical drives from virtual, created by such programs as DAEMON Tools.
