I am not sure why you reported your own post to the moderators, but it since you did, let me state that your request is not clear.

Are you asking for information on how to prevent a CD from being copied?

Also, you should never, ever post your email addresses in a forum or on a Web site unless you really, really like spam. Spiders and bots will find the addresses you posted and you will receive spam. I suggest editing your message and removing the addresses. Besides, most people will answer here rather than emailing you.

Brad!

Good way to get attention of an Admin :)

As for protecting CD Mr Son Of Gupta, its a near impossible task. You can only make it harder. There are copy protection solution out there used by Games Manufacturer which will bankrupt most of developer if we decide to buy them. Even those are cracked and bypassed.

So my suggestion would be to protect your application using Serial No or other Protection machanism rather then trying to Copy Protect CD.

Hope this helps.

BTW: Brad, when you report post, does it go to all Mod/Admin or Mod of that particular form. If a post is not in right forum, i tend to use Report Post link and request to move it, so thats why i am wondering who it goes to. Thanks

ya mean that it doesn't go directly to the authorites of the country of origin of the post writer? not even the president of Jupiter.com?

report this thread to a mod. thought the mods actually read the threads :rolleyes:

if it said 'report this thread to the police' we'd hardly get any 'good' posts :D
