Boris-
A group of us addressed that very issue at a SAT earlier this year. Besides using RBInstaller and the RBase PowerPlugins which contain everything you would need to create a very VERY strong secure package. You would choose the amount or how it would be locked ie: "User" or "License" you design- your choice. Paul D. Also the announcements on eXtreme 9.0 - No more dlls! Also you can store your forms, reports etc.. in the compiled exe (If they do get in to the RX#'s they do not have the important part.) and THERE is more. But I would be repeating what was announced over the last week on this R-List and in the RBase Blog. "Don't worry, Be Happy! - we have RBase ;) " From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 11:33 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Issues associated with packaging and distribution R:BASEapplications Issues associated with packaging and distribution R:BASE applications We have compiled the application we have developed (BMS Interior Design Pro) using R:BASAE compiler: after that was done the application becomes our_db.RX1 our_db.RX2 our_db.RX3 our_db.RX4 our_codelocked_procedures.dat program.exe <couple of required DLLS> Looking at that I see the whole point of the compiler is in: allowing us ship our application without requiring our customers to purchase R:BASE. But this is only minor part of the story why we needed compiler in the first place, we also want to prevent our customers from being able to open up and modify our forms using purchased or evaluation version of R:BASE. I do not see that compiler accomplishes that. Another thing: copy protecion we need to be able to lock to single PC our application, with all the software piracy going on and torrents and things like that without good copy protection it becomes difficult to make money selling software. Whats is the R:BASE recommended solution for copy protection of shipped R:BASE APPLICATIONS? Boris Tkachenko Director of Software Development BoMar Software Inc. Lenexa, KS, 913 687 2263
