    Hi all, How can I offer the functionality 4 a software to be downloaded after purchasing it (instead of shipping it).. The problem is that I want a secure access to the software so that only the people who purchase it can download it (only once for each customer), not any1 who knows the URL can download it.. Thanks a looot in advance

      1- provide an account for each customer. 2- store the software(binary data) in a database. 3- when the user clicks to download the software, perform any checks you want before getting the software from the database.

        The problem is that I'm using SQL Server 2000 so the size of the software will be much larger than the size of a binary column in the database.. Any Clue?? Thanks a lot

          You can store the files locally and store paths in your SQL Server database.
