No, no, no.  Not at all what I'm trying to do.

What I'm trying to figure out is how he's gone about making this something that isn't defeated by simply commenting out a line of code.

I'd like to do whatever he's doing with my application too. Something were the application is free to download and use, but in order to get rid of my default branding, a user would have to input a registration code (that they paid for).

On the surface it seems like a simple process - but every idea I can come up with can be defeated simply by finding the branding (or included files with the branding in them) and commenting them out of the code.

Is there a more "unhackable" way to do this?

I bring up the Web Wiz Forums example because he seems to be doing it, but I can't figure out how's he's doing this. (Even just in theory alone)

   All,

   I've been trying to figure out something for months - I downloaded the
   ASP based Web Wiz Forums (very nice, by the way). They have a free
   version that has branding locked into the look and feel. To remove
   this,
   you purchase a licensed version and then input the serial number
   in the
   admin.

   Granted, I'm not at ALL an asp guy, but I can't seem to figure out how
   he's coded this so that I can't just comment out some lines of
   code and
   simply remove that requirement on the front page templates.

   Does anyone have any idea how I could do something like this in CF? I
   don't want to encrypt my application, FYI.

   Thanks!
   Jake
