Welcome to IWETHEY!

New and once they get the key?
>> You should look into Exchange Pair encryption (ie. private and public keys) where you have the users who download the demo register with you to receive a public key. <<

But once they unlock it, they can spread it on the web, no?

>> Though, I can offer that I recently did an implementation with M$'s CryptAPI set, and it works fairly well. <<

How do you know? One does not discover hacks until it it too late?

But, I will look into it. Does it work with scripts, or only VB and C?

Thanks

to break.

As computers get faster, this will change, but you have a few years for now.

Sure, they can spread it.

But, just keep in mind that nothing is hackable. It's just a matter of finding that degree of security that you're comfortable with.

Like Scott mentioned, it's very difficult to hack the private key. Doable, but difficult. And, sure, they can dissimenate the public key if they wanted (see [link|http://astalavista.box.sk|http://astalavista.box.sk] to see how many *current* hacks for *very* expensive software are out there), but, again, it's just a degree of security.

CryptAPI will work with any M$ scripts (such as VBS/WSH scripts). It's just your basic COM DLL. Hunt a bit, though. We actually found a wrapper that someone had already written that helped make the native API a bit more friendly.

New They can spread the key.
And you include, as part of your customer agreement, that a broken key = loss of service.

And you keep an eye out for broken keys on the web, as well as unusual activity on your website. You get a broken key, you invalidate it in your updated version. All versions until that one work fine, but as soon as somebody tries to upgrade, the key no longer works.
