Wes, There are good ways to do it without either dongles or encryption simply using VFP. I wrote a class that I think is still on Leafe.com which binds the PC Chip ID along with the Hard Disk ID (Both unique) and then sends out an email to yourselves asking for a password to unlock the software. This password can be a "for life" or a limited time password or in fact a temporary trial password to evaluate the software and all in pure VFP with source code.
I'll see if it is still there and if not then reload it for you if you are interested.

So far we are looking at Refox and Chilkat. Which one is better? Is there another we should be looking at. They want to secure their program with dongles. Any advice?
