I am working on a project, which I want to sell to different clients.
However, I do not want 2 seperate clients copying the program between
themselves. Therefore I need to ensure, as much as possible, to stop
my software from being pirated. i have an idea to do this. I was
thinking of reading the processor id and attaching it to the system
when it is first installed.In this way, if one tries to copy this
system to another one, it will not work. Does anyone have any idea
whether this is possible, and so how I can obtain the processor ID. If
it is not possible, does anyone have any other ideas ?
 
You can avoid 2 different clients sharing the program between them by
hard-coding a watermark or company name onto reports which run from and
Access MDE. That way, the code cannot be changed. You can do that very
easily by using a Public (Global) variable in a standard module, and refer
to that company name on forms and reports. A different client will never
publish a report with someone else's name on it. This won't protect you
within the same company, but that's not a particularly good idea anyway.
