Dear users, when you joyfully purchase our Gilisoft applications, eager to start an efficient and convenient user experience, you may encounter the perplexing prompt “The registration code cannot be verified through the network. Please purchase to get a valid key.” while registering with the provided key. Unable to complete the registration, we deeply understand your anxiety and frustration. Here, we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience caused. Next, let’s explore the root causes of the problem together and find solutions. Meanwhile, we hope this communication will help you better understand Gilisoft’s commitment to genuine software.​

I. Root Causes of the Problem: The “Tricks” of Cracking Tools​

In the digital world, some users may attempt to use cracking tools to obtain software for free. However, these cracking tools often make unknown modifications to the system to achieve their cracking purposes. One common method is tampering with the host file in the Windows system.​

The host file is located at the path “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc”. It is a system file that stores the mapping relationship between domain names and IP addresses, playing a crucial role in network access. When we enter a website address in a browser or an application needs to connect to a server, the system first looks for the corresponding domain name – IP address mapping in the host file. If there is a relevant record in the host file, the system will connect to the IP address specified in the record without querying the DNS server.​

To prevent our applications from communicating with Gilisoft’s official server and achieve the goal of cracking, these cracking tools add specific rules to the host file, directing our official website gilisoft.com to an invalid IP address, such as “127.0.0.1 gilisoft.com“. As a result, when you purchase genuine software and try to register with a legitimate key, the application attempts to connect to Gilisoft.com‘s official server for key verification. But due to the blocking settings in the host file, it cannot establish a connection with the server, ultimately leading to registration failure and the above error prompt.​

II. Solutions: Restoring the Host File to Normal Settings​

Now that we’ve identified the problem, here’s a detailed guide on how to modify the host file in the Windows system, restore it to normal, and successfully complete the application registration. Since the host file involves key system settings, please operate with caution to avoid unnecessary impacts on the system. Follow these steps:​

1. Open Notepad as an Administrator​

Press the “Win + R” key combination to open the “Run” dialog box. Enter “notepad” in the dialog box, then press “Ctrl + Shift + Enter” simultaneously and select “Yes” to run the Notepad program as an administrator. This step is crucial because without administrator privileges, you may not be able to save changes to the host file.​

2. Open the Host File​

In the Notepad program, click the “File” menu in the upper left corner and select “Open”. In the file explorer, change the file type dropdown menu to “All Files”. Then navigate to the “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc” directory, find the file named “hosts” (note that this file has no file extension), select it, and click “Open”.​

3. Locate and Delete Entries Related to gilisoft.com​

In the opened host file, carefully search for content related to gilisoft.com. You will usually see records like “127.0.0.1 gilisoft.com” or other entries directing gilisoft.com to a certain IP address. Once found, select these entire lines and press the “Delete” key on your keyboard to remove them. Make sure to only delete content related to gilisoft.com to avoid affecting other network functions of the system.​

4. Save and Close the Host File​

After deleting the relevant entries, click the “File” menu again and select “Save” to save the modified host file. Then close the Notepad program. At this point, the host file has been restored to normal and will no longer block the application from connecting to Gilisoft.com‘s official server.​

5. Try Registering the Application Again​

Open the Gilisoft application you purchased and enter the key you bought again for registration. This time, the application should be able to connect to the official server smoothly, complete the key verification, and successfully finish the registration process. Then you can enjoy the features of our carefully crafted applications!​

III. Stay Away from Cracking, Embrace Genuine Software​

Perhaps you’ve used cracking tools for various reasons in the past. But through this registration failure experience, you’ve realized the many issues caused by cracked software. Cracking tools not only may lead to usage obstacles like registration failure but also pose significant security risks. These tools often come from unknown sources and may contain malicious software, such as viruses, Trojans, and spyware. Once these malicious programs enter your computer system, they may steal your personal privacy information, such as account passwords and bank card details, causing serious financial losses. Moreover, malicious software may damage important files in your system, leading to system crashes and data loss, disrupting your work and life.​

GiliSoft DRM Protection – Comprehensive Protection for E-Book Security

In the era of booming digital content, copyright protection and secure distribution of e-books have become focal points for content creators and publishers. Recently, we received an inquiry from customer Glen Lewis regarding GiliSoft DRM Protection for eBooks, whose questions are of general relevance. Here, we combine professional insights to elaborate on GiliSoft DRM Protection’s solutions in e-book protection, helping you better understand and utilize our products.

I. How do buyers use e-books after purchase and download? Do they need to manually enter a license or key?

When encrypting e-books with GiliSoft DRM Protection, you can choose from the following three methods during the encryption phase—no need to manually provide licenses or keys for each purchase:

Method 1: Fixed Password

After setting a fixed password, buyers can enter it on any computer with the specified reader installed to access the e-book. This approach suits scenarios where e-books need to be shared within a specific group (e.g., a target user base) while maintaining basic access control.

Method 2: Computer Binding

By binding the buyer’s machine code, the e-book can only be used on the specified computer. Buyers provide their machine code to the seller to obtain a playback password, which unlocks the e-book via our dedicated reader. This method strictly restricts device usage, fundamentally preventing unauthorized access.

Method 3: Password-Free Direct Playback

After downloading, buyers can read the e-book directly via the dedicated reader without entering any password. This offers the most convenient experience, ideal for streamlining processes and enhancing user experience.

Notably, all three methods effectively prohibit screenshot operations to prevent content from being easily copied. For anti-sharing, Method 2’s strict device binding minimizes the risk of e-books being shared to other devices.

II. How does GiliSoft DRM address unauthorized distribution and piracy? Can it prevent e-books from being shared via email? What about printing and screenshots?

GiliSoft DRM Protection excels in anti-piracy and permission control:

Blocking Illegal Sharing

To prevent buyers from sharing e-books via email or other means, choose Method 2 (machine code binding). By linking the e-book to the buyer’s hardware information (machine code), even if others obtain the file, they cannot open it on unapproved devices—eliminating sharing at its source.

Restricting Printing and Screenshots

During encryption, you can disable printing, screenshotting, and screen recording based on needs. Advanced technology prevents users from capturing content via physical printing or screen capture, safeguarding your intellectual property comprehensively.

III. Which EPUB and PDF readers does GiliSoft DRM Protection support?

GiliSoft DRM Protection supports a wide range of e-book formats, including epub, mobi, azw3, htmlz, lit, txtz, docm, rb, pmlz, snb, tcr, fb2, bdb, lrf, mdf, etc. However, please note that e-books encrypted by GiliSoft can only be opened via our dedicated reader.

IV. How does GiliSoft DRM outperform common readers like Adobe Acrobat Reader or Google Play Books?

Popular public readers like Adobe Acrobat Reader, Google Play Books, and Apple Books have limitations in copyright protection—they cannot implement advanced permission controls like screenshot or print bans. In contrast, GiliSoft DRM’s dedicated reader is purpose-built to address these gaps. It supports the aforementioned formats and strictly enforces the permission policies set during encryption, ensuring e-book content is used only on authorized devices and in specified ways—providing rock-solid protection for your digital content.

Experience GiliSoft DRM Protection’s Power Firsthand

To help you visualize GiliSoft DRM Protection’s effectiveness, we invite you to send us your e-books for encryption. This hands-on experience will showcase its excellence in protection, distribution, and usability.

With flexible encryption methods, robust anti-piracy features, and professional reader support, GiliSoft DRM Protection is the ideal choice for e-book copyright protection.

In the digital age, the threat of unauthorized copying and dissemination of valuable media content looms large. Consider the case of Michelle, who reached out with a pressing concern: “Good Afternoon, I need help. I am using gilisoft copy protection. I use GCP format or EXe format which is not a problem. What can I tick to make sure that the other person cannot copy the videos or photos to the other memory sticks especially with the exe format. What can I tick so that the person cannot open the videos on the computer after copying them. They should only be able to watch it on the memory stick especially with the exe format.”

Michelle’s query is a common one, highlighting the need for a robust content protection solution. In the market, there are several competitors like Veracrypt, BitLocker To Go and USB Secure, but Gilisoft Copy Protection still stands out.

Tailored Protection for Every Need

Whether you, like Michelle, are working with the GCP format or the EXE format, Gilisoft Copy Protection offers unparalleled flexibility. Veracrypt, as a free and open-source option, mainly focuses on using complex encryption algorithms for disk encryption2. In contrast, Gilisoft Copy Protection adapts seamlessly to various storage mediums and file formats, ensuring that your digital assets, be it videos or photos, are safeguarded regardless of where they are stored.

Prevent Unauthorized Copying to External Memory Sticks

Gilisoft Copy Protection addresses Michelle’s worry about preventing the copying of videos and photos to different memory sticks, especially when in the EXE format. While BitLocker To Go is a powerful full disk encryption tool for removable storage devices provided by Microsoft, it may lack the specific granularity of control that Gilisoft Copy Protection offers2. Gilisoft Copy Protection, with a few intuitive settings, creates an impregnable barrier against such unauthorized transfers, which many competitors struggle to achieve.

Restrict Viewing to the Original Memory Stick

The ability to restrict video viewing to the original memory stick, as Michelle desired, is another remarkable feature of Gilisoft Copy Protection. USB Secure can protect data on USB drives through password settings, but it may not offer such strict limitations on restricting viewing to the original device4. Gilisoft Copy Protection, on the other hand, ensures that your content is consumed only as you intended.

User – Friendly Interface

Despite its advanced security features, Gilisoft Copy Protection doesn’t overwhelm users with complex procedures. Its user – friendly interface, as demonstrated by how it can address Michelle’s concerns without her needing extensive technical knowledge, guides users through the setup process with ease. In contrast, some competitors might have a steeper learning curve, making it less accessible to ordinary users.

Conclusion

In a digital landscape filled with content – stealing risks, Gilisoft Copy Protection stands as a reliable protector. It combines a comprehensive set of features, from format – agnostic protection to stringent access controls, to safeguard your videos and photos. As seen from Michelle’s experience, when compared to other solutions like Veracrypt, BitLocker To Go and USB Secure, it clearly offers more in terms of adaptability, precision, and user – friendliness. So, if you’re looking to secure your digital world, Gilisoft Copy Protection is the answer.

In today’s digital age, safeguarding our personal files from prying eyes is of utmost importance. Whether it’s sensitive work documents, personal photos, or financial information, we all have data that we want to keep private. Here are some effective ways to prevent others from viewing your private files, with a focus on two powerful tools: folder locking and privacy protection software.

Folder Locking

Folder locking is a straightforward yet highly effective method to protect your files. By locking a folder, you can restrict access to it, ensuring that only you or authorized users can open and view its contents. Most operating systems offer basic folder – locking features. For example, on Windows, you can use the built – in encryption feature (EFS – Encrypting File System) for NTFS drives. This encrypts the files within the folder, making them unreadable to anyone without the proper encryption key.

On a Mac, you can use FileVault to encrypt the entire drive or create a disk image with a password. Disk Utility allows you to create a password – protected disk image where you can store your private files. Once the disk image is locked, it requires the password to be mounted and accessed.

Privacy Protection Software

Privacy protection software takes file security to the next level. These tools offer a wide range of features beyond basic folder locking. They often include file encryption, password management, and the ability to hide files and folders from the system.

One of the key advantages of privacy protection software is its ease of use. It simplifies the process of securing your files, even for those with limited technical knowledge. You can quickly lock and unlock folders, encrypt files, and manage access permissions with just a few clicks.

Competing Products

1. WinRAR: While primarily known as a file – archiving tool, WinRAR can also be used to password – protect files. You can create a compressed archive and set a password during the creation process. However, its main focus is on archiving, and the file – locking functionality is more of an added feature. Also, the encrypted files are in an archive format, which may not be as convenient as having a directly locked folder.
2. TrueCrypt (discontinued but still in use in some cases): TrueCrypt was a popular open – source disk encryption software.
