Re: Copy VFP9 exe file

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



You'll need to use a serial # based control on the hard drive when 1st
installed.

We've done this in the past -- we install a temporary small program that
generates a key in the exe's directory -- this key is encrypted & is the hard
drive serial #. This small exe is then deleted.

The program will refuse to run if the license.key is missing, or if the hard
drive serial # doesn't match (it's been copied).

It's only resulted in one major end user complaint when their hard drive crashed
& they restored from a backup and we wouldn't run -- but it was trivial to get
them going again.
