Q: What is DeviceLock®?
A: DeviceLock® for Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows Server 2003 gives network administrators control over which users can access what devices (floppies, USB, FireWire, serial and parallel ports, Magneto-Optical disks, CD-ROMs, WiFi and Bluetooth adapters, infrared ports, ZIPs, etc.) on a local computer. Once DeviceLock® is installed, administrators can control access to floppies, CD-ROMs or any other device, depending on the time of day and day of the week. DeviceLock® enhances access control for Windows System Administrators and helps control removable disk usage. It can protect network and local computers against viruses, trojans and other malicious programs often injected from removable disks. Network administrators can also use DeviceLock® to flush a storage device's buffers.
Q: Why do I need DeviceLock® if I can use Group Policy?
A: Unfortunately, standard access control solutions coming with Windows operating systems do not allow the assignment of permissions for USB and FireWire ports as well as for WiFi and Bluetooth adapters. Anyone can bring and plug a tiny device and download hundreds of megabytes of proprietary information. You do not have to be an administrator to use one of these devices, and you can not manage WiFi, Bluetooth, USB and FireWire devices via Group Policy.
Q: Can I be notified when DeviceLock® is updated?
A: Absolutely. For your receive news about DeviceLock®. We will send you E-mail by: .

A: Yes. All our registrations use SECURE protocols. It is impossible for a third party to intercept your credit card information. Please feel safe to buy DeviceLock®.
Q: I bought the Single license of DeviceLock®. Could I install DeviceLock® on all the computers in my network?

Q: I bought a license for DeviceLock®. Do I need to buy another license each time DeviceLock® is upgraded or a newer version is released?

It means that during one year you can download and install the latest versions of the software from our site, and the license keyfile that you received from us will work with the latest product version.
If you don't want to purchase an upgrade, you can use the program forever; it will never expire, but you won't be able to use the latest version.
