A system for protecting software against piracy while protecting a user's privacy enables enhancements to the protection software in a user device and extended protections against piracy. The protection system allows the user device to postpone validation of purchased tags stored in a tag table for installed software and to re-establish ownership of a tag table to recover from invalidation of a tag table identifier value. Continued use of the tag table is provided by the use of credits associated with a tag table. A protection center is protected against denial of service attacks by making calls to the protection center cost time or money to the attackers.

La présente invention concerne un système permettant de protéger un logiciel contre le piratage tout en protégeant la vie privée d'un utilisateur. Ledit système permet des améliorations du logiciel de protection présent dans un dispositif utilisateur et des protections étendues contre le piratage. Ledit système de protection permet au dispositif utilisateur de reporter la validation d'étiquettes achetées dans un tableau d'étiquettes destiné au logiciel installé et de rétablir la propriété d'un tableau d'étiquettes afin de se remettre d'une invalidation d'une valeur d'identification de tableau d'étiquettes. L'utilisation prolongée du tableau d'étiquettes est assurée par l'utilisation de crédits associés à un tableau d'étiquettes. On protège le centre de protection contre des attaques de refus de services en faisant en sorte que les appels au centre de protection soient une perte de temps et d'argent pour les pirates.
