Ben, I am also interested in this exact question. I think Dan's answer is OK, compile everything -- that basically means doing everything as COM objects and hiding most of all the business logic that had been in the ASP code. But there will still be the User Interface in ASP, so how do you hide that? Another solution is an ASP Obfuscator. That takes the ASP code and mangles it so much that a person couldn't make any sense out of it, while still being completely understandable by the server and still being valid ASP code. This prevents your customer from being able to understand or modify your code, or fix problems. Technically, it wouldn't prevent them from reusing it as is. Another solution, that I am employing right now, is to require the use of a hardware or software license key. A hardware key is usually called a dongle. If you're interested in more info about that, let me know. Whatever else you find out, I'm interested. Thanks.
