My app is installed by InstallShield and as such I could call a .DLL to do
funky stuff...
I'm thinking about embedding a string in the .prc file which would be
changed during installation to whatever the user enters as his/her name and
company. Obviously, the string could be hidden from simple modification
with a very straightforward XORing scheme.
I think this would serve well to avoid casual duplication of our software.
Yes, all you would need to pirate a copy would be the original CD or a copy,
but at least this would be a more annoying and involved step than simply
beaming the app to a friend.
Are there any obvious reasons why this would _not_ be a good idea? I didn't
run across anything like this in the archives.
