If ...

- you need the above functionality, and done in a highly secure and
  robust fashion,
- need or may need in the future to license not only access to your
  program's functions, but also to data (simple examples: fonts, clip
  art, custom setups, custom or general purpose scripts, etc.)
- may also want to experiment with "pay-per-use" arrangements, in
  addition to the "pay-per-copy" arrangement (classic licensing),
- could also use a robust, distributed, and highly efficient
  repository for your data without the overhead of a DBMS, with much
  more functionality in the areas of data storage/retrieval and
  visibility management,

... then you may want to take a very good look at a persistent data
server from Penobscot Development Corp. The name of the product is
'Kala', and you can get information about it by writing to:
