Please provide an overview of Orion’s defenses against common licensing security attacks.

Orion provides defenses against the following common licensing security attacks, to name a few:

  • Copying a license activation record from one machine to another in order to bypass copy protection.
  • Rolling back the system clock in order to reuse expired time-limited licenses.
  • Rolling back license state data in order to reuse expired quota-limited licenses.
  • Becoming an Agilis customer and manufacturing free licenses for products whose vendors are themselves Agilis customers.
  • Eavesdropping on the communication between an Orion client and license server, decoding license parameters and then spoofing the license server with one’s own server that unconditionally grants licenses.
  • Recording the encrypted communication of a successful license request and grant between an Orion client and license server, and then playing back the communication against the license server so as to obtain a valid license for an unauthorized copy of the same application.
  • Misrepresenting that a license is lost due to a crashed or lost machine in order to obtain additional licenses.
  • Replacing the licensing client library with a spoofed library that unconditionally passes license checks.
  • Hacking the application binary code to bypass license checks.
  • Unauthorized license server access over the Internet for license poaching.
