Copy protect

[ITphile]

Hi All,

I want my VB programme to be "copy protected" so that no one can copy the software just like that.

My requirement is somewhat like:
The CD key can be used only twice and the functions of the software will go down if not registered within 50 days of installation.

Are there any 'programs' readily available or VB6 can come handy?

Pl. suugest me to make the programs secure

TIA

Create a cryptic and obscure registry entry with your installation.

In your main function check if the registry entry has some particular value. If not, end.

Or store a date in that registry entry and check it to see if 50 days have expired.

sub main()
SecretCode = GetSetting(ThisApp, ThisSection, "foobar&quot
if SecretCode = "mxtylplk" then
LaunchApp
else
End
endif
end sub
