I'll be ready to start distributing the app I've been working on in a couple of weeks. Time to look into a strategy for licensing and allowing the customers to download a trial version. I've been Googling the groups quite intensively now but I didn't come up with anything interesting for me. Most third party tools I found were rather expensive and really sophisticated. I'm not real worried the professional crackers will spend any time with my app. All I want is to keep normal people honest 1. They download a time limited trial version. 2. They like it and register for a license key as the pay for the product.In the $50 range Point number two is the important part. Once they've downloaded and evaluated my app, I want them to come back and pay for it. Some kind of registration procedure that will let them continue to run the app on the computer it's already downloaded to, but keep them from giving away the license key to their friends at least. Ie the key wont be any good on another machine. How do you solve these matters? Can somebody recommend either a priceworthy third-party tool, where I don't have to pay a bundle for making my source code cracksafe. Or can you recommend a strategy that I could employ myself. I'm distributing the product as a Windows Installer package. -- Perre Symfoni, en kost- och tr�ningsdagbok http://www.kostforum.se
