PROTECTOR ADMINISTRATOR - SECURING WEB PAGES

	If you are evaluating Lizard Protector, you need to follow all the steps on this page, including creating a customer account for yourself on the administration system so that you can view your protected content. Failure to do so will result in you not being able to view the content you have protected. Please read Design Considerations before protecting any content.

STEP 1:  Download and Install Lizard Protector Administrator





The latest software can be downloaded from here.   You will need to fill out some details such as your name and email address so that a 15 day trial license can be automatically generated for you on the licensing server and the registration license file sent to your email address.  Once you have downloaded the software, double-click on the .exe file to install it.




STEP 2:  Register Lizard Protector Administrator

Before you can start using the administrator software you must first register it.  The license file required for registration (protector_license.plw) will have been emailed to you when you filled out your details for a 15 day trial.





The license file is contained in a zip file so that it does not get stopped by firewalls. Double-click on this file in your email application, select the 'Open It' option, and then the OK button.  Then double-click on the protector_license.plw file. This will start the registration process and confirm your publisher record in the administration system.  A message dialog confirms successful registration.  You are now ready to start protecting your web content.




STEP 3: Protect your web content

From the Windows Start menu, open the Lizard Protector administrator GUI (Start > Programs > LockLizard > Lizard Protector > Protect Content).




The following dialog will be displayed:





Select the appropriate access rights from the tabbed dialog.  For detailed use, please refer to the product manual or use the help feature in each tab.


On selection of the  button, your files will be protected and the digital rights management controls you set will be applied.

Your protected files will be saved to the folder you specified in the product settings output folder.  Files protected with Lizard Protector Web Content Security are saved with a .hsf extension and will incorporate the original file extension in the new filename.  For example, image1.gif will become image1-gif.hsf.  This is so you can always tell the original file format of your protected files.




STEP 7:  Generate customer licenses

From the Lizard Protector Administrator menu (off the Windows Start > Program Files) select the Administration System to start generating customer licenses.






This opens up a web page where you enter user names and email addresses (Create Customer Accounts).  



When you create customer accounts, the license files are automatically generated and emailed to users.




STEP 8:  Send protected products to your customers

Now you are ready to send your protected products (collection of HSF files) to users by email or publish them on a CD-ROM, memory stick, or from your web site.
