Q1：What is the SmartLock G2 software protection lock?

A1 : SmartLock G2 is a software protection lock developed by McAMOS Technology through SmartLock USB product sales experience and customer's recommendation. It took a year to finish product development. SmartLock G2 software protection locks are provided to software development companies to protect the software programs they have developed so that they are not illegally stolen to protect their rights.

Q2：What components are used to develop and constitute Smart Lock G2 hardware lock?

A2：The SmartLock USB hardware lock is mainly a combination of an 64-bits MCU and a 2048-byte Flash memory. Thanks to the 64-bits MCU design, it is the highest protection software lock in all protection locks. 

Q3：How much data storage capacity does the SmartLock G2 hardware lock provide?

A3：The SmartLock G2 hardware lock provides 2048 bytes memory space for software development companies. With this 2048 bytes memory space, the software development company can write important data to the memory space or read the existing data from the memory space at any time. Use to make the protection results rigorous and complex. 

Q4：Is there a limit on the number of data writes times to the Flash memory inside the SmartLock G2 hardware lock? 

A4：The Flash memory used in the SmartLock G2 hardware lock is a product with high write resistance. According to the Flash memory component factory test data, the Flash memoey in the SmartLock G2 hardware lock can be written to 100,000 times, but according to our engineering department's test, the data writing operation within 200,000 times is correct. So the number of conservative data writes is 100,000.

Q5：What kind of USB standard does the SmartLock G2 hardware lock conform with?

A5：The SmartLock G2 hardware lock is designed and developed in full compatible with the USB 1.1 standard. If the user's computer is equipped with a USB port that conforms to the USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 A Type standard, the SmartLock USB software protection lock can be used on the computer.

Q6：What kind of software operating system can the SmartLock G2 hardware lock be compatible?

A6：SmartLock G2 is compatible with Windows XP，Windows Vista，Windows 7/8/10 operation system。

Q7：Do users need to install any additional drivers when installing the SmartLock G2 hardware lock for the first time?

A7：The SmartLock G2 software protection lock is designed and developed using HID's standard technical specifications. Since Microsoft's Windows system has built-in HID-compliant drivers, users of SmartLock G2 software protection locks do not need to install any additional drivers. As long as the USB HID driver in the Windows system is working properly, the SmartLock G2 software protection lock can be used.

Q8：Does the SmartLock G2 hardware lock meets the plug and play criteria?

A8：Yes. The SmartLock G2 hardware lock is fully compliant with the USB specification, so it is fully compliant with plug & play standards.

Q9：What function calls does SmartLock G2 software API provide?

A9：The SmartLock G2 software API currently provides the following functional calls for software development companies.

1. Read Byte function

2. Write Byte function  　　　

3. Read All function (105 bytes)

4. Write All function (105 bytes)

5. Data string Encryption function

6. Data string Decryption function

      Through the interactive use of the above functions, software development companies will be able to construct security protection.

Q10：If the user simultaneously connects the protection locks of other brands with SmartLock G2 on the one server computer, will there be conflicts?

A10：Will not. Since SmartLock G2 and other brands of protection locks have different VID and PID identification codes, there is no conflicting situation. 

Q11：What are the product differences between SmartLock G2 protection locks and SmartLock USB protection locks?

A11：SmartLock G2 protection locks and SmartLock USB protection locks have the following product differences.
