Hi Damien,
I will make this into a separate license type, which enables me to
distinguish this license from a regular pro copy from a compiled BGT
executable. For those not sure what I'm talking about, here is a copy of the
privacy policy found in the documentation:
---Privacy Policy Start---
Blastbay Studios values your privacy, and collects very little personal
information from you. The only information that is ever stored in our files
is the
limited amount of data given to us when an order is placed which includes
but is not limited to your name, and email address. No financial information
is ever obtained or stored by us.
Under no circumstances will any of your private information be sold, rented,
sublicensed or in any way shared with a third party without your prior
written
consent.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Blastbay studios reserves the right to store a unique,
heavily encrypted user token hash in all compiled binary versions of games
written
with our engine, in order to allow Blastbay Studios to identify with which
licensed copy of the product a particular executable was built. No private
information
can be retrieved from this token by any third party, as it refers to
information stored only in the internal sales records of Blastbay Studios.
This token
is stored for the sole purpose of allowing Blastbay Studios representatives
to detect illegal distribution and/or sales of derivative works produced
with
our engine.
---Privacy Policy End---
So with the help of this encrypted hash token, I can determine if someone
should abuse the license which I'm hoping will not happen, but one should
better be safe than sorry.
Kind regards,
Philip Bennefall

Hi Philip,
This is a good idea, but how is the executable going to know about this?
What I mean is, it can quite happily know the difference between a lite or
pro version, but how can it monitor the fact that you are only using the pro
section for a single product?
Regards,
Damien.

Subject: [Audyssey] The price of BGT Pro
Hi folks,
I have been doing some thinking regarding the pro version of BGT. While an
unlimited distribution license obviously offers the greatest flexibility
and freedom, as has been discussed previously the price tag is way too
high for many when paying up front. So I've thought of another method.
What are your opinions of a single product license, which would allow you
to make and sell as many copies as you could manage, of one single game?
This license would be somewhere around the $150 mark, and would let you
sort of test the waters commercially. If that first game sold well, you
could then get pro at a later date or get another single product license
for the next title as well if prefered, etc.
I'd be greatful for any feedback on this.
Kind regards,
Philip Bennefall
