opey Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 What is some good software to protect my program from being distributed freely on the internet? I want something that has a time limit and once the limit has expired it will pop-up a message saying whatever I want and then will keep the program from functioning at all until the correct serial number is entered. The biggest thing that stumps me is what if the program makes a serial number for itself, but then the guy that has it just sends the program with the serial number to his friend? Couldn't they do that? I was looking for something that can't be cracked and is easy to use. XProtec seems complicated and the whole topic is about it being opensource or something? How does that have to do with it's functions? I don't understand it very well so if there is something that meets my needs I would be very grateful. Thanks.

opey Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Well why is it so confusing then? I get errors about everything when I run it. Like "Title is not acceptable". and then it gives me more errors after I fix that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valuater Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 dont combine the errorsTitle is not acceptableis a protection against the user "re-naming" your programthe name of your program is this .....$D_Program = "My_Program_Name" ; your program nameIf your program name is "Runner.exe" then $D_Program = "Runner"8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinReno Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 You have to compile your program with the AutoIt compiler (Aut2Exe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
