Hey Kris,

I've tried to put my head around this and make it secure and not bother the end user so much. I know very well about getting source easily in any .net application so that isn't my concern since part of this is keeping it server-side. The other thing is there is already software out there kind of like this that is licensed based on those ideas and it's selling very well. It doesn't even require you to have an internet connection once you've actually validated against their server, it's a one time thing.

With that said, the niche that I am working in is used to having software like this and would not be intimidated in the least with this type of protection if I could create or have it created. The main thing this would be for would be protection against piracy and warez communities sharing software.

There is a great need for this type of protection which is why I want to use my knowledge in cracking software to give software developers or software entrepreneurs a way to protect their intellectual property against guys like me. :-)

I left a lot out of the idea to keep it safe but that was part of the idea was taking it to a different level along with my other ideas and making sure it was..First possible and Second to start the process of mapping out the entire solution and delivering it to the world.

I really appreciate your input and help by the way! :-)

Chris
