Hi All,
Im trying to develop a secure way of licensing my companies software
we have an encrypted code at the moment so that will stop anyone from
running the programs but the problem ive noticed is that if you have a valid
license there is nothing from stopping you from installing it on as many
computers as you wish with the same code
I know microsoft and a lot of other companies have moved to activation and
hold a database of license codes / machine hardware ID and can activate over
the internet, or over the phone
we are going to imagine that quite a few of our customers will be working on
offline systems and my company is only small in size so we would like to try
and do away with having phone calls just for activations
any bright ideas of how we could achieve this?
