If there are four of five of us with the same dream, would it not be worth talking about doing something collectively? After all a 4th or 5th share of Millions is better than 100% of nothing

I was wondering if any you guys can help me, 'cause this is driving me nuts! On a click-through ad I stubled across just what I was looking for. It was a code generator for seamlessly connecting to MSSQL/Oracle/MySQL for .NET. It was in two parts, firstly a free generator when used for V1.1 than you paid a license for V2.0 integrated into the IDE. It was a new start up, Canadian I think, it's just that I'd like to use a company like this rather than the big boys on something like Componentsource...should have bookmarked it ...but you know what it's like!!:rolleyes:

Why not use something like VMWare, a fantasic piece of sotware and flick between any flavour of development setups? Even supportted a MS-DOS 4 app the other day then had it running on a VMPlayer on clients super fast XP machine p.s. not on commission, just think it's perfect for our line of work!

I mean to protect it from copying. Just like the commercial software you get which gives you a 30 day trail then you have to pay the license fee. I was wondering what the best practice was to "make sure you get your money":) for the thousands of hours of blood and sweat!! -- modified at 6:39 Tuesday 13th June, 2006

I wanted to later set up an online download/purchse/license model once it takes off :rolleyes: so I'm not sure if the two are compatible. What the pro's experiences? I
