The client may feel they are in the right, but the contract may say otherwise. No matter what, it looks like you could be the man in the middle of a legal mess if you would decrypt the source and provide it back to the client.

Re: encrypted files
No, this is entirely legal, depending upon the initial contract. The client may have the right to use the code for as long as they wish, but the intellectual property of that code remains within the sole ownership of the developer. It is not uncommon at all.

Re: encrypted files
there are some decryption tools out there, but they are pretty old and do not work with files encrypted with current version of CF. I would ask your client to review their contract with the original developers and see if it does state that they will only provide the encrypted files. It the contract states that all code is owned by the client and does not expressly stated "encrypted only" then they don't think they have much of a leg to stand on and your client could threaten them with legal action base don the fact that they are in breach of their contract.

encrypted files
hi everyone, any suggestion about this would be very much appreciated. I have been given some work to make some changes to an existing site and all the .cfm and .cfc files are encrypted. The original developers are REFUSING to supply us with the decrypted version even though the client says they own the site/pages which they paid big bucks for. The developers say yes the client does own the pages but only in encrypted format which to me means owning a car which has no body or engine. I've tried this tool http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1007043 but all files became 0KB with nothing in them.

RE: CF8 and encrypted files
Wow. This would be a huge bummer if everyone needed to re-encrypt all of their previously encrypted files to get them to work on CF8. I have lots of tags and such that I have picked up along the way and still use, but the original developers are now since unavailable. I would hate to have to reverse all of these. -jim -Original Message- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 11:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF8 and encrypted files Jim Rising wrote: > has anyone experienced any issues with files encrypted in previous > versions of CF not working in CF8?

CF8 and encrypted files
has anyone experienced any issues with files encrypted in previous versions of CF not working in CF8? when included into code running in CF8, encrypted files only show the encrypted source rather than parsing and showing the expected output.
