This article guides you to simply, yet effectively, prevent your software customers from copying your product without your authorization. I admit it is not a top-security solution, and it will be easy to crack without protecting your compiled code, but it is just for conveying the idea.

Software Developer (Senior)
United Kingdom United Kingdom
I graduated with a First class honours degree in Computer Science from the University of Salford in June 2006. Shortly after I graduated, I started my first job as a web developer in a small consultancy company in the North-West. I have since moved to a larger organisation in Manchester, which is a bit closer to my home.

My development is 99% ASP.NET based with the remaining 1% being ad-hoc console applications or Windows services, and although I prefer to develop in C# (just because I think it is cleaner), VB is what is used in the team.

Gio has been writing programs for almost 10 years. Sometime on 2005, he decided to cut his hair and remove his nail polish so he could enter a commercial building in downtown Manila and submit his resume. That bold action eventually led him to the city by the bay in the sunshine state. He really like it there because he's still able to experience hurricanes which makes him very nostalgic albeit disappointed because it doesn't automatically translate to work suspension. If he's not outside watching squirrels play, he explores esoteric topics using .NET and SQL Server. And like squirrels, Gio is a very docile yet hardworking creature. If ever you see faults in his work, be gentle with the criticisms. He greatly appreciates this and rest assured your advice would be embodied in his future works.
