2. Which components are used to build the SmartLock USB Hardware Lock?
The SmartLock dongle contains an 8-bit CPU and a 1024-byte EEPROM. As a result of its incorporation of an 8-bit CPU, the SmartLock dongle offers the highest level of protection available.

3. What data storage capacity does SmartLock offer?
SmartLock provides software developers with 105 byte data storage. This storage area can be used to randomly write-in/read-out important data for use in making an exact and sophisticated protection system.

4. What is the write-in frequency limitation for the internal SmartLock EEPROM?
The SmartLock dongle's internal EEPROM is a higher write-proof product. According to the EEPROM's ex-factory test data, the EEPROM's write-proof degree is 100,000 times; according to our laboratory tests, the EEPROM can withstand write-ins up to 200,000 times without any fault. So the conservative data write-in number is 200,000.

5. Which version of the USB standard does SmartLock comply to?
The SmartLock USB hardware lock is compliant to the USB 1.1 standard, so if your computer is equipped with a USB port that conforms to the USB 1.1 standard or USB 2.0 standard, you can use the SmartLock dongle.

6. On which operating systems can SmartLock be used?
SmartLock is designed in a Windows 32-bit development environment and it is completely compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP and Windows 2003.

8. Does SmartLock conform with the plug and play standard?
Yes, the SmartLock dongle conforms completely with the USB technical standard and therefore conforms with the play & play standard.

9. What functions does the SmartLock hardware lock provide?
At present, the SmartLock software protection system provides the following functions.
 
i. Read Byte
ii. Write Byte
iii. 105 bytes Data Read At Once
iv. 105 bytes Data Write At Once
v. Data String Encoding
vi. Data String Decoding
