Thanks Richard and others who've posted on this. Very interesting
articles. Now *all* I need to to do is wrap my brain around all this and
decide how to proceed!

Hello,
we have made some difference experiences and so I have to disagree to
Richard and Francois.
We are publishing software in a very small specific market, so no music, no
games. In the first years our software was - in your intention - completely
free of copy protection, later we implemented

programs, which were running off the CD.
We made the experience, that nobody ever thanked us the ease of use and lack
of licensing.
Just tossing out another option for people:
I've found with shareware I've written in the past that - in this day of
internet access - my customers didn't mind at all having to be connected to
the internet in order to gain access to their purchased software (read: ping

I did not mentioned that we had also some steps in between.
But many of the per-user licenses can be passed on.
I don't know how Adobe or Microsoft prevent people of passing their user
license to other people.

I like the idea of pre-generated keys. It seems like a good in-between
method. If your user then registered their key and someone else
subsequently tried to register the same number you would have some
recourse. I don't want to get bogged down in lots of administrative
hassles, so I like this
We use phone home authorization that uses machine-specific info. In
case of a user with two computers, a hard drive crash, etc., we let
people authorize additional computers with their email address and
password so they always have access to what they've purchased.
We police our database
I was going to make my software refuse to run 15% of the time due to bad
licensing and then catch some smart hackers just due to statistic
misfortune.

funny tale below:
Once I lost both the serial generator for one of my software and the backup
for the given generator. People were buying the software but I could not
generate the serial for them, then, I remembered that I had not removed some
debug messages. So if invoked thru the terminal from

I agree with everything else you wrote, and it seems very reflective of
much of the Delphi Anti-Cracking FAQ, but on this I'm confused:
It seems like we're saying the same thing about obfuscation. Or maybe I

While this thread is alive, I've long been curious what the criticisms would be
