A Solution of Software-protection still needed ?
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 05:04 PM
Hello,

I created a Solution of Software-protection,
but I don't know if there is still requirement.
Otherwise, there are still other things to do, maybe starting with Metro-style.

This demo shows the functions of Registering
- Start
- GetRegistrationInfo
- Register
2 small Files are created. The Keymaker activates Shareware.exe

The Shareware Keygenerator calculates a hardwareID when it is installed.
The person who registers a program must supply this hardwareID on registration
only then can a valid key be generated.

The registration information is saved in the registry under the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\<applicationname.exe>

With applicationname.exe is meant the name of the compiled program.

Use the KeyGenerator to generate registrationkeys.





Result of registering :



Best Regards
Uwe :-)

If you have any questions about special functions, maybe i can help.

Software protection is always an issue, and there is always a need. This looks quite helpful.

I have a completely different solution for registration.
Every time a customer installs the program and opens it up they will have displayed a 7 digit serial number which is randomly generated.
This means that every install generates a different serial number.
The customer then sends me their serial number. At that time I am enter the serial number in another program that I developed and it creates an unlocking code which is sent back to the user. They enter it in the space provided and then they get unlimited use of the program.
The programing was complex. It works quite well.

This prevents unlicensed copies of the program from being used.

Thank you

Harvey
