Hello
I m using Installshield X to deploy my project and create SETUP.EXE

I want to protect my S/w by passing a Passwrod before installation.
The password should be change after every deployment so that the user/client will unable to copy that s/w or to nstall that to other system.

Is there any other way ?
Please help me

as far as i know, when you are password protecting the setup file, you can only specify one password and cannot change it. what i do is use a registration program (that is used after installation), with the registration program, i get the HDD serial number and generate registration information manually based on the HDD serial number. there is an example in the code bank by Martin Liss. also, there are examples of this stuff on other web sites like pscode.com
