Re: Program protection - can not be copied

Dear expert,

I want to protect my program in CE 5.0.
After installing the program into system, I want the file can not
be copied. Then, user can not copy the program and run on other
device.

Is it possible? And How to archive this solution?

If you put the file inside the OS image it won't be possibile to
extract only the application (unless it's a managed app) from the .bin
file (or from the image on flash).
It's possibile to "download" the image from a device and run it on
another one, but they must be hardware compatible.
If you need to "lock" the image on a specific hardware you'll have to
find a way to put some device-specific information (serial number, MAC
address etc.) in the image but this could be a nightmare to manage in
production.
