Crypserv.exe is the executable file for CrypKey Software Licensing, a copy protection technology to prevent duplication of downloaded software demo or trial version. It saves the PC unnecessary disk space and memory consumption, thus optimizing the system to maintain accuracy and speed. It launches automatically upon computer start-up and runs processes in the task manager. If you no longer use a downloaded trial program, you can disable it and remove it from computer start-up to prevent it from running. CrypKey copy protects software without code changes to its application. Small businesses as well as software developers can take advantage of CrypKey’s Software Developer Kit which copy protects directly to the application's code. Its library or DLL is copyrighted as compilation to place disclaimers in the license to keep the public domain declarations and attributions intact when it is distributed by source code form. For the public domain individual files, the programmer can place code segments and file sets or entire files into his own project for total control without hassles about copyright.
