    Dear all

    I have the following problem. When i complete a project i usually need to distribute a test CD to customers so they can have a look at the prototype. But the problem that i am facing is that the code on that cd is really valuable for me and would not like to allow the customers to steal the code. I thought about encrypting it but if it is encrypted then it wont run. Is there any product that will allow me to protect the content of the CD/DVD/whatever media from viewing and copying. The customers should be able to use the product but not copy and reuse my code.

     Would PGP work?

     

    Thank you so much

    Dan

    Make sure your contract specifies remedies for misuse of software.  Encode everything into a DLL.
