Q1：What is SmartLock USB for Linux software protection lock?

A1：SmartLock USB for Linux is a software protection lock that was successfully developed by McAMOS Technology. SmartLock USB 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. Since the SmartLock USB software protection lock is used on the Linux operation system, it is called SmartLock for Linux.

Q2：What components are used to develop and constitute Smart for Linux hardware lock?

A2：The SmartLock for Linux hardware lock is mainly a combination of an 8-bit MCU and a 1024-byte EEPROM. Thanks to the 8-bit MCU design, it is the highest protection software lock in all protection locks.

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

A3：SmartLock USB for Linux hardware lock provides 105 bytes memory space for software development companies. With this 105 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 EEPROM inside the SmartLock NetUSB hardware lock?

A4：The EEPROM used in the SmartLock for Linux hardware lock is a product with high write resistance. According to the EEPROM component factory test data, the EEPROM in the SmartLock NetUSB 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 for Linux hardware lock conform with?

A5 : The SmartLock for Linux 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 NetUSB software protection lock can be used on the computer.

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

A6：目前SmartLock USB for Linux軟體保護系統需要兩種不同的操作系統，硬体鎖內部資料與密碼設定的工具程式，
        必須在Windows XP，Windows Vista，Windows 7、8、10等的視窗操作系統下執行。
        至於經過SmartLock USB for Linux保護系統保護後的程式，則可以在Linux Kernel 2.4.24以上版本，
        以及Kernel 2.6.X以上版本的操作系統下使用。

A7：The SmartLock NetUSB 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 NetUSB 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 NetUSB software protection lock can be used.

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

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

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

A9：The SmartLock NetUSB 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 USB on the one server computer, will there be conflicts?

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