How to Install SafeCast Anchor Service
Most software products use software-based license management technology to prevent people from illegally copying and using the programs. The SafeCast Anchor Service verifies the license key entered during the installation process, stopping the process if the serial number is not valid for the product. Software companies normally choose whether to use SafeCast as their license-verifying tool and include the tool within the installation packages of their software.
