Hello,
So the studio has asked me to protect some code, because they are giving
access to external people to it.
I though that a way of doing it is, introducing in the code an import file
as theLicense.py , so if that license file isn´t found, the code will not
work. This license file is stored in the studio server, and no one know the
root for it.
So the code would be something like
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import sys
my_pth = '/theRoot/tool_lic_file'
sys.path.append(my_pth)
try:
import theLicense
except:
cmds.warning("LICENSE NOT FOUND")
sys.exit()
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what I publish is the .pyc. of that code.
The problem is that when the code is compiled, if you open it, you´ll see
something like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ó
ØXc s1 d z d[] d l[] z[] e[] gHd
/theRoot/tool_lic_file append( ( ( s4 > s
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, the root to the license is displayed in the .pyc, so it is
very easy to get it, and there fore steal the company´s code
ps: I also thought about introducing an expire date, but I don´t like this
method to much
thank you
