CD-RX Disc Overview
CD-RX media represent a new recordable disc format developed by
HexaLock.
CD-RX discs are special CD-R discs that contain pre-burnt information
that adds copy-protection security to the discs. CD-RX media are made
from standard, high quality CD-R's and are suitable for recording in
any standard CD/DVD recorder. CD-RX discs are fully compliant with the
Orange Book standard and are readable by any standard CD/DVD reader.

Manufacturing CD-RX
CD-RX discs are produced by recording the first session that includes HexaLock
Proprietary information on certified standard CD-R discs.
Each CD-RX disc that is manufactured around the world is unique.
The special recording process is done using dedicated HexaLock software.
CD-RX Discs Applications
Software Copy Protection
Software developers and publishers can use CD-RX media to protect low volume
productions, beta copies and press samples of their software. The program files to
be protected are linked to the authentication elements of the first session of the
CD-RX discs during the recording process. The protected files can then run only
when the specific CD-RX on which they were originally recorded exists in one of
the local CD/DVD drives. Protected software can be copied to the HDD for
performance reasons, but it still requires the original CD-RX disc.
Content Copy Protection
HexaLock Content Protection System (HCPS) is the only copy protection system
in the world that can protect content files that are not programs and still make
them 100% transparent to viewing/playing in their default players. HCPS
technology enables content owners to burn content files such as HTML, PDF,
AVI, MPEG and many more, onto CD-RX discs and make them copy protected.
The protected content files can then be viewed / played only from the CD-RX disc
on which they were originally recorded.
NOTE: Protected audio and video files will play on the PC, but not in consumer players.
Unlike protected program files, protected content files become unusable when copied to the HDD or any other media. Copying the contents of protected files using Copy & Paste, Save As and optionally even print, is blocked.
