			The Acekard 2i anti-counterfeit code was established as a means to verify the originality of the product. The code was a direct response to a market flood of 1:1 clones. Officially, the Acekard Team had stated that the clones are made of "cheaper parts"; however, this claim has not been substantiated. Therefore, the anti-counterfeit code was most commonly used in conjunction with Acekard's one-year guarantee on all of their products.

Interpreting the Code

	Each code is unique, and Acekard has assured the public that there is little chance that they will run out of codes anytime soon. When the code is checked, if anything other than "You bought a REAL Acekard" is displayed, you probably have a fake/clone AK2i. This, of course, is assuming that you were the first to peal off the sticker. It is possible that a reseller may check the code or that a second-hand card's code has already been checked. Before you panic consider the uniqueness of your situation. If the card was purchased new, you were the first to remove the sticker, yet the Website displays a checked number greater than 1, then your card is 100% a clone AK2i.

	Current reports state that the 1:1 clone ~~continue~~ to function the same as the legitimate AK2i. There have been reports of full AKAIO functionality and the ability to update the bootloader. It is still rather early in the life of these clones and the end-users do not yet know what problems they may cause. If you do end up getting a clone, consider contacting your reseller and asking for the card you paid for.

	The unique 20 digit anti-counterfeit code is located behind the holographic Acekard logo sticker, placed on the back of AK2i units. The top sticker must be pealed back to reveal the unique 20 digit number. The numbers are presented in 10 digit blocks, stacked 5 over 5, with a space separating the two 10 digit blocks.
