The encoding of the software is initialized dependent on a secret Firm Key (FK) freely selected by the licenser. The encoding of the transmission of license parameters occurs dependent on a secret Private Serial Key (SK). The decoding of the software or data is initialized dependent on the Firm Key (FK) selected by the licenser. A protective device is linked to the computer of the licensee and includes a memory for the storage of license parameters of different licensers.
