    Software Licence ? code it ?

    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.

    I'd code it myself based on the some hardware key i'd have generated...
