I have an app I am writing and it will be given to companies with
large employee bases. How do you go about making my app a
licence aware app or in need of some CD key to use it. can you code that stuff or is it better to get some 3rd party app to handle that ?
any pointers or web sites for info is appreciated...
Depends how secure you want it and how badly some one want to bypass your scheme. Its a impossible task to prevent people who really wishesh to crack a software. We just try to make it harder for them.
Here is an example from VBF Admin Martin, http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...readid=232146. Though I would also look for 3rd Party ActiveX too.
Edit : check out ActiveX its free and quite popular.

use activelock 5. its new version is buggy.
I'd code it myself based on the some hardware key i'd have generated...
I saw the active lock on another thread and looks like an good way to go... but as for the last suggestion to code it from a
hardware key...
how to you go about that... I have no clue where to start. are there code examples somewhere ? web site ?
ok last question..
I did a search on CD key on that site... that the direction I should
be heading ? or would I find more a appropriate hits on some
other search ?
that link is just hangin my IE....
forget that... IE was being a pain.. I rebooted and it does
work... thanks for the link Big D...
Where do you get older versions of ActiveLock.. the web site
only has the newest version...
NSLock is the old name of ActiveLock
