I am building a program under Visual C++ 6.0, which I will sell to a industrial customer (a factory). I am using an illegal version of the Visual Studio IDE - a cracked copy. I would like to ask if there is any way for the authorities to know that I used an illegal copy of VS. Say by examining the executable files? Does VC++ add any signature to all executables it builds? If you have any idea, please post it... "Needless redundancy is the hobgoblin of software engineering." - Peter Darnell

As far as I know, there is now way for them to know you are not using a fully licensed copy to do you development work.... but YOU know. By the way, don't think that poeple from Microsoft don't read these message areas. We DO have a few members that are MS employees. :-D
