Strong Arm Viewer
ANSWERS
  1. What is the Strong Arm Viewer
    The Strong Arm Viewer is a free program that allows you to view the data encrypted into a file by Strong Arm. It does NOT allow you to make any changes to that data nor does it allow you to encrypt data into a file. It is simply a passive program that can be used to view the digital watermark.

  2. Why is the viewer free
    In order to prove ownership of a file you have to be able to reveal the hidden digital signature encrypted within it. Here at Liquid Frog we decided that the easiest and most efficient way to do this was to provide a free viewer.

    Anyone who needs to check a file for ownership is not going to want to pay to find out the file he is using has been copyrighted by someone else. By making the viewer free they have no reason not to download it and check the copyright details.

    It also increases the functionality of the main software because you are allowed to bundle the viewer and send it with encrypted files if you are sharing information with other parties but wish to retain ownership of a file and its' contents.

  3. Do I need the free viewer if I already own Strong Arm
    No. Strong Arm contains its' own viewer. You may however download and use the viewer as a stand alone product if you so wish but the functionality is identical to the viewer included with Strong Arm.

  4. Can I distribute or give away the viewer myself
    The terms of the license allow you to distribute the viewer in any way you see fit. You may make the viewer available through any method you deem appropriate. You may attach the viewer to an email, make it available as a download on your site or add it to a file sharing network, it's up to you.

    What you may not do is charge a fee for either the viewer or the cost of distribution, nor may you claim that the viewer is yours.
