I have developed a program, which will be installed by several users. How can I protect it, so, once installed, the users can use them on the installed pc, but not others. before, what I did is: create a web service, when the user use it, they need verify the account by the web service. however, it needs the user always be online, which is not applicable to this case.

Unless the person actually gets into the source code they can't get the password am I right? Is it actually possible for them to get into the source code.
Basically what I'm asking is, is this safe and if not why not and how can it be made secure?
I've created a small application that basically reads and writes to a single Excel.exe process. It's basically a timer that records the time I use on projects and then store it in an Excel sheet. This works great, however, I've noticed that if I open Excel manually, work on some sheets and whatnot, save and exit etcetc, the process my software use gets broken or something. The same thing that happens if I manually close the excel.exe process and my software doesn't "know".

When my program first launches, it generates a GUID which is then saved to the registry and compared to an online database when an internet connection is detected. If it is a valid registry key, another registry value is saved stating that it is valid. Is there a way to protect these 2 registry entries from being changed?
View 6 RepliesOK, so, I made a program that locks the computer with a password, to help you protect data from other people. It's quite simple, you open the program, it shows up in full screen, "To access this computer please type in the password"....etc.
BUT, I want it to have a "Guard". To make it act like a screen saver does. That's my plan: So, you typed in the password, and close the program. And then, if you didn't move your mouse, or press a key, or you're not watching a movie, for more than 6 minutes, I want it to automatically launch the program. Until now, I've just put in Form2.Show in the Form1's (which is the password-protect program) FormClosing class. I also made the Form2 on Full Screen, and it's opacity to 0%. That's where you will move your mouse. I made all the code until now, but I need code for making it act like a screen saver.
if anyone here has ever worked with Sentinal HASP keys to protect applications.I understand how to make features in the keys but i do not understand what i need to include in my project to have it authenticate against the HASP at runtime.

View 3 RepliesI'm going to build a large project and want to create several libraries (DLL) for it. I don't want to merge them all in one EXE, but want to use seperate DLL files.I don't want those DLL's to be used by others, so these DLL's should be protected so that they can only be used in my own project.I was thinking of using some sort of password in the New() proc, but that doesn't work for shared classes.
Other solution I was thinking of: is it possible to check if the calling assembly has the same strong name as the DLL?These solutions are just one of my ideas. I don't know if those will work and am not saying that one of them is the way to go.What is the best approach to accomplish this?
BTW: I also use a obfuscator to protect my code.
