When your app is started for the first time, First of all the software needs to get a individual hardware key. That can be got with ToringoDRMinfo (haven't used it yet but it looks promising). Using some kind of code, alter this key so it doesn't look anything like the hardware key. It asks to be connected to the internet so It can download some necessary files. In the server I have an encrypted realbasic database. They connect, If the software sees in the database that the user is a paid customer it unlocks. If not, it sends to the database the date and the hardware key that has been scrambled. It also stores that info in an encrypted database that has files necessary to run the software. After the shareware time is up the user can register. If they try to reinstall the software checks online (during the download of files) to see if this computer has had the software on it before. Now the user wants to buy the software. Inside the software a browser opens to the paypal account. After the paypal account is payed for, paypal will send the browser back to a encrypted page on my site. The user is asked to enter his email. The software sends to the realbasic database the email Computer code paid. and the software unlocks. I would make a little app that I can use to access the database and change records (say if I sell it to an individual personally) now - what are the holes that hackers would tear into? I should mention that my site will have lots of online lessons, online video help (video help would be so much better than PDF) and everytime the computer goes online, it would check the verification of the software, and check it against the database on the computer as well. Cheers, Sean My question - can I just stick an encrypted realsoftware database on my server and access it via realbasic software?
