Protecting S/W Piracy.
-
Hi Members, I have done a product in VB6.0. Consider the product can be a educational software. Iam releasing my product in USB drive like(CD) for all the schools. I want to protect my product to run, even if they copy from the USB to any other devices like(CD, USB, etc).. Can somebody help me to avoid this kind of sitution.
Thanks & Regards Kumaran

I am not sure what you mean, you want to stop it running anywhere apart from the schools where it is installed, if so I think this is going to be hard, unless you put like a hidden authorisation file on each computer it is used on?

something simple like: when your installing your app, have the setup program run your exe with a command line that is only known by you(not documented). this would install some key in either the registery or hidden file. when your app has this commandline it immediately shuts down after installing the key. then when somone executes your app, it should check if this key is present. if not, then say it's an invalid license.

Have a look at our product "Diamond Licensing". The product page is here[^]. You could use the RegistryStore to keep license data on each machine.
