Started writing a new FAQ

Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 4:27 PM

Yesterday, I finally started a FAQ that was planned quite a while ago.
The FAQ is showing how to try to protect your software against cracks.
I'll be writing a few, but this one is about using a time trial so your users can taste your application, but cannot use it for free.

I've already got some code that I can use, so that won't be a problem I suppose.
But I wish I knew how crackers these days crack VB applications. If you know this, you can build protections against that, but I don't know it right now. If people can point me in the right direction for finding information about this, I'd highly appreciate it. You can't protect yourself unless you know how the attack is done of course.

I'll try to finish the thing at the end of this week. I'm still busy updating http://aromax.bizhat.com too, as the catalogue isn't quite finished yet. What do you guys think about that website? I mean lay-out, as it's all Dutch, so you guys probably don't have a clue what is said.
