The recurrent threads discussing software licensing, the latest "demo
crippling" for example, reiterate the desires of the development community
for a mechanism of protecting their products. Has anyone considered
investing some time into porting some of the server based licensing schemes
available in the Windows and Unix environments and setting up a licenses
server application on a Palm? I'm certainly no expert on the topic as my
experience has been mostly as a developer and Unix system admin type. I've
installed quite a number of FlexLM and proprietary servers and licenses in
my day.
I wonder if such an animal would be possible (i.e. crack resistant and
trustworthy). If so, would Palm be interested in incorporating something
like it into the OS so developers like myself could assume it's existence.
Just thinking out loud...

PS: Maybe a note to your Windows/Mac/Unix licensing software vendor of
choice might be a way to see if any of them see a future on the Palm?
