Hi,

I spent a lot of time to develop a program and now I want make a trial
version for my customer.  Currently the protect mechanism is: when the user
first run the program, it read the disk id and display to the user. then the
user send the id to me and I work out a code based on the id and send back
to the user. after entering the code, the program then can be launched.

Question is that I am afraid the program can be cracked. for example I heard
that there is a tool to make the ID of two disks the same. then the protect
machanism will be no use.

Anyone knows a better way?

thanks
