Cameyo provides Windows applications with information regarding the user which can be useful for identification purposes such as licensing, identity and login enforcement.


Simple method: local data

To authenticate the current user, your application can read the user's identity from the plain text file %USERPROFILE%\User.id. Its contents looks like this:

[email protected]
 

Advanced method: online authentication
