You should probably invest in the industry standard for shareware/trialware softare vendors: http://siliconrealms.com/index.shtml The standard Armadillo is what I use for Overseer(http://www.overseer-network-monitor.com/). It's never been cracked nor has anyone I know that uses Armadillo. It's feature rich, and developing a similar system in house would likely be more crack-prone and cost you more when you figure in what your time is worth. Before I started using Armadillo, I had a strong asynchronous encryption method that worked fairly well, aside from complexity of sending people the license files versus keys. That version of Overseer was 'cracked' if you look on the crack sites, but all they did was hack the assembly source to remove a few nag screens-- the product wasn't fully functional(particularly the core part of it) with their 'crack'... ;-) -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
