Guest WIlly Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hey Folks, this is my first post, but I've been reading and studying a lot in the pastFew weeks. Let me first say that I'm not in anyway a programmer of scripts/websites/or programs in general. I've made a simple script that works really neat. But I would liketo protect it from others stealing it or simply sharing it w/ their buddies. How would I create a script or is there one that someone has or knows of that would be willing to share with me. I'm thinking of selling the script, and I would like to put a "Random"number, and a Password or Registration number to it automatically when they email metheir product number. I've seen the software out there that does this, but trying to be a bitgreedy and not pay $100.00 to $200.00, here's an example site that does what I'm looking forhttp://www.chosenbytes.com/code-lock.php? .So to break it down, I guess I would need a GUI that covers the Current GUI or a GUI that onlythat goes away when the Registration code is correct couldn't hit x to exit or no title bar and #notrayicon, (I have the idea, but no clue on where to start). They email me the Product ID (numbers),I look it up, match it to the the Registration code, and email it back to them.This has probably been done, but I can't find it anywhere, only "Random Password Generator", that doesn't do what I'd like it to. I'm not looking for handouts (although I wouldn't turn them away),more so to be led in the right directions.Sorry for the long explination, just wanted everyone to know that I'm not a mooch, but I am totallystumped.

bshoenhair Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Just curious, what does your program do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WIlly Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well the "program" is a game database. Tracking statistics of yourself and your opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bshoenhair Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Not to discourage you but: You say you want to charge money for this app right ? If you are unable to create a form of SEMI protection for your app then how do you expect to support this software yourself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejoc Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Plus no matter what method you come up with, someone will figure out how to bypass it. And most people would use free alternatives or develop their own. It's always been a "fighting a loosing battle," when I think about protecting software. Plus open source yields better software IMO.
