Oh please, is it so hard to google?

Thank you. :p Well, StarForce has been around for quite a while, but a lot of people used to really hate it because they said if messed up their CD Drives. But there's no weird drivers with it anymore, and doesn't harm your computer. When you buy the game, it simply asks you one time to verify your purchase by contacting a server online. Thats it. You never see it again, unless you change parts on your machine or try to reinstall. A lot better than disk checks (which Daemon Tools has cracked) . And its near impossible to crack.
StarForce FrontLine ProActive (developed in 2004, updated in 2009) [6]
Provides DRM + Protection solution for web distributed games and applications. Disc binding replaced by web activation. Doesn't utilize drivers or other low level modules.
I think this is what they're using.
A form of validation, I can look forward too...
