SecuROM

SecuROM is a digital rights management (DRM) technology used by software companies to prevent unauthorized copying and piracy of their computer games and software. It works by embedding extra security checks within the software, such as requiring online activation or limiting the number of devices on which the software can be installed. While intended to protect the developer’s investment, SecuROM can sometimes cause issues for legitimate users, such as installation restrictions or conflicts with other software. Overall, it aims to balance copyright protection with user access, though its implementation has been controversial among gamers and consumers.
