This is what I am currently doing, I know I need to improve this too

I have the customer info table password protected and the default name is Dan Demo. When a customer pays I send them a code locked file that updates the customer table. I just added a block of code that says If Lname = 'Demo' Then ....change name Endif.

For Updates, I send a code locked file that Updates the Forms, Reports and anything else I need. I have a password system that changes daily for each user. So, Dennis, Larry and John
would have different passwords for the same day.

And I have an Owner password setup on the DB.

I did have an office call and say they were sorry, they got an illegal copy of my program and had been using it for years and they wanted to pay up and clear the slate. They would not tell me where the got the copy from but I feel the Update system above help them see the light!

The biggest problem I have is some owners sell their business to a new owner and move. So, I need to help the new owner change the business name info to his name but there is no real way to stop the original owner from keeping a copy..... until he tries to run a update! I have to send each office a password, I know it is a pain but the best I could think of at the time I did this.

Good luck
Marc

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Software Security


We have just completed our first app.
I have to add some data and then we can compile our first demo version 1.0 for evaluation.
Our only security is the complier right now.( 30 day demo )
What is available from Rbase and what are other people using for a distributed application? http://bmsinterior.design.officelive.com/default.aspx --this is the most current site.
I have new forms and the changes will be made this week-end.
Sorry to miss the conference, but next year I should have some stories to shares.
Thank you, Boyd
