Hi all, I have a website which I want to release in 2 versions.
The first version will be freeware in exchange for a link back to my
page.
The second version will cost and will not need a link back to my page
at all.
For the freeware version how can I ensure that people do not remove my
link from the .aspx files???
Thanks in advance

I dunno, screen scrape their pages and see if the links are present? Not
sure of the legal ramifications of such a thing so check first....
....I'm not totally sure I know what you're saying.

You can't be "sure" - all you can do is scrape their (your app's) page
periodically and find out if the link is still there. Maybe you should
revisit your marketing strategy. Maybe your free version should 'phone home'
every time it starts, and if there is no confirmation of something you need
to get from it, then it would quit.

That would be a much better solution, IMO...
