Make no mistake, there is no single "fix" to ensure a product is 100% secure. This is especially true if the protection is implemented in 100% software (no external hardware dongles). I was very impressed to actually read in the OnGuard documentation that they actually highlight the short comings of each protection method. Most other companies I have seen and used simply state they are foolproof - which they are not. Also, getting a relatively unique value based on the date/time offset from a specified date in history, is only part of the information used by OnGuard to secure your software. In OnGuard terms, this is called "key modifiers". The hacker would still have to find the original Key too. We simply want to make our product a bit more difficult to hack, thinking in terms of the average end-user to medium skilled hacker. Our content (teaching material) is also encrypted with various encryption schemes, based on Grade, Language, Product etc. But like I said, anything is hackable. PS: Even the Playstation 3 finally got hacked - it only took 3 years, 2 months and something like 11 days - that's dedication! :-) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
