Abstract

A data storage medium includes a first storage unit and a second storage unit. The first storage unit is used to store a target electronic device ID, the second storage unit stores software installation data. The software installation data includes a copyright protection module, a software installation program, and a software data. When the software installation data is invoked to install the software data, the copyright protection module is invoked and automatically runs. The copyright protection module accesses the first storage unit and reads the target electronic device ID. The software data can be installed in the target electronic device only if the first storage unit contained the target electronic device ID or the first storage unit is writable and the target electronic device ID is stored in the first storage unit successfully.
