Thank you for your insights. I know it is impossible to prevent application to be copyed.
I was looking for a "trivial protection", an "unlock code" linked to the name of the user similar to the unlock code of revolution.
Suggest using the email address instead of the user name. The user name can contain characters that are outside of the 1 to 127 ASCII range and various mail servers and clients can do strange things to characters outside of that range. Email addresses almost always fall within the "standard platform independent" ASCII char set.
So, I had my application to register the name of the user in a file, stored in the preferences folder.
I wondered how lonk my code to the the name of the user.
ChartoNum function wuold be a solution, but is is too trivial, I think.
It really does not matter where you store it and how you store it unless your market is primarily people who thrive on stealing software. The people who are going to steal with steal. People who are going to pay will pay if you encourage them to do so.
