KEYLOK was originally founded as Microcomputer Applications, Inc., in 1980 by three former managers/engineers for Martin Marietta. They began working on a software piracy solution for CSG (Canada Systems Group). Within a short period of time, the KEYLOK Dongle had gained its position as one of the most effective software piracy protection devices on the market.

Over the past 25 Years, KEYLOK has secured thousands of applications and KEYLOK Dongles have gained recognition as one of the most reliable and cost–effective security products ever brought to market. On average, our KEYLOK Dongle is about 50% less expensive than comparable products and we have the lowest failure rate in the industry. This is especially notable given that we are the only manufacturer to offer a lifetime, no questions asked replacement guarantee.

This success has not happened by accident. Comparably, it happened with hard work, dedication and intelligence, not unlike how you’ve achieved the same level of prominence and success we imagine. Understanding the passions of our customers has compelled us to take a very serious and unwavering approach to product development and manufacturing. This is evidenced by the fact that each KEYLOK Dongle undergoes more than 600 tests before they are ever sent to our clients. And what’s more is that after all that, we stand by to support our clients with guaranteed response times in customer service and a stringent education and certification process for all of our support engineers. We don't just say we are client–focused. We demonstrate it.

While you’re qualifying the decision of who to choose to help protect you and your software, please take advantage of the many free industry reports and evaluation tools that we have developed to assist you in this process. You can find this information by visiting the Dongle Resource page on our site. We encourage you to approach this decision thoughtfully and diligently and we are happy to help you learn about the market, the various products and services that are available and which ones are best suited to meet your specific requirements. We trust that after you do–you’ll see why KEYLOK has been the trusted partner of software companies for over a quarter of a century. And counting.
