Piracy of Access Program

171 100+
Hi,

First of all I want to thank you guys, I am now at a stage where I can sell my software. I do have 3 concerns:

1. Some one will steal the program's code, the only protection it has is the basic Access security which disallows viewing code,table, queries and so on, on Access startrup. That can easily be bypassed by having the shift key pressed.

2. Someone will buy 1 liscence for the program, but have more than 1 users be able to use the program, there is no current security I have for that.

3. If there is a network security where the users using the program can't exceed the number of liscences (since it is a database everyone would have to log on to one back end). This still leaves the issue that the program could be used in another location.

I don't even know where to begin and your help would be greatly appreciated.
