Type Of Document Protection

The following types of document protection can be set:

•Not using HASP Plug. This type of protection is set for any user. This type of protection allows, for example, setting the access only for Preview and Edit variables. Then, any user working with this will be able to open it view-only, without being capable of other actions, such as editing or copying the information. This is convenient if a developer intends to pass the document to the user solely for getting acquainted with the contents. In this case, the user is not required to possess HASP protection key, since previewing a document can be performed by the T-FLEX Viewer application that does not require a HASP protection key.

•Specific T-FLEX CAD HASP Plug or list of HASP Plugs. This type of protection is used in the cases when the developer knows in advance the IDs of protection keys for T-FLEX CAD users who will be working with the protected documents. Enter the IDs of the T-FLEX CAD protection keys in the document protection parameters. The access to the protected document will be granted on any computer with this particular T-FLEX CAD protection key installed. If using the network key, then the access can be gained on any computer on the network.

•Password with T-FLEX CAD HASP Plug. This type of protection is convenient if the developer does not know in advance the IDs of T-FLEX CAD protection keys of the users who will be working with the protected document. This type of protection is generally used when distributing a document or library (a set of documents). By setting this type of protection on the document once, you do not have to change the document protection for each new user. After that, the user shall send his (her) T-FLEX CAD protection key ID to the developer of the document. The developer uses the currently described command to generate a password based on the protection key ID, and passes it to the user. When accessing a protected document, the user must enter this password for gaining the access to the document.  

•Another specific HASP Plug or list of HASP Plugs. A document protection can be set not only by T-FLEX CAD HASP protection key, but also by any other HASP protection key. This type of protection is similar to the type Specific T-FLEX CAD HASP Plug or list of HASP Plugs; however, in this case the developer needs to specify, among the parameters, a special password for the protection key in use, which shall be obtained from the manufacturer of this protection key.

•Password with another HASP Plug. This protection type is similar to the type Password with T-FLEX CAD HASP Plug, except that it can be set on any HASP protection key, provided that the specific password is known for accessing this protection key, as supplied by the key manufacturer.
