I am not a developer - but please don't do it. Products with built-in license checking are a real PITA for customers. If you insist on doing this checking, make sure you have the ability to provide a universal license code that bypasses CPUid checking; your best customers will appreciate it.

Is there anyone reading this list who sells a license key product for z/OS ISV software? By "license key product" I mean a set of functions that could be integrated into another software product to provide expiration dates, machine serial number checking, feature control, etc. Is there anyone reading this list who had developed a license key product for their own use, and who might be willing to license it to another vendor? The product in question is z/OS only batch. *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
