Hi Phil,
I wanted something relatively simple for me to do on the same lines. My
application was in a vertical market where the product was likely to be
passed around. I decided to go for MD5 encryption based on a number of
paramters incluidng the server name that the user supplied to me. I would
then generate a key that would match up to a key geneerated by my
application after looking for the relevant server name and other
information. This locked my application to the server, which is what I
wanted. I knew that my user base could not cahnge their server name due to
the main application that was running on it - this needed a set server name.
Hope that this helps.
Best wishes
Paul Bromley

Hi!
What's the easiest/best way to provide a licensing feature to an
application?
We've developed an application that defaults to evaluation mode, but now
need to achieve a method of licensing the application, preferably by
entering some kind of unique string.
What are the options and products we should be looking at?
Thanks!
