I have the client's name in my LOADER.INI file, and then I also pass a
separate file called license.txt that is the encrypted string of that
client name. I use cipher50.fll for cheap/easy encryption, so I can
basically do something like this:
lcClient = GetKeyFromINI()
set library to cipher50.fll
lcEncrypted = encrypt(filetostr("license.txt"),"mydecryptionkey")
if lcEncrypted = lcClient then
* proceed
else
* don't allow access
endif
That's off the top of my head so I might be off slightly in syntax. I
could work in date information if I wanted some consideration for timed
licenses.
