Hi,

I'm looking for info on tools to assist with the installation and
licensing of some software. The software is written in Visual C++ 6.0
and is designed for Windows 95 and NT 4. In terms of the licensing
software, I'm looking for something which will make life difficult for
anyone attempting to copy the software, will allow me to distribute 30
day evaluation copies of the software but extensions outwith that period
can be granted if necessary and which ideally does not incur an admin
charge to the distributor of the licensing software every time a new
license is issued. 

In terms of the installation software, again I'd like to avoid paying
royalties if necessary - a one off purchase is more desirable.

Please send me info by e-mail on comments on the leading licensing and
installation software and if there is sufficient interest I will post a
summary to the group.

I'm currently looking at Vbox and Sentinel LM and would particularly
appreciate comments on these products in terms of usability and how easy
it is to crack products protected by them

many thanks
