If your machine goes down then they won't have functionality. I'm working on a similar thing (different concept I'm sure), I've been trying to give it some thought as well. ________________________________ From: Ronald Davis <xok...@yahoo.com> Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:35:59 -0800 (PST) To: <amibroker@yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [amibroker] Sharing AFL while protecting intellectual property Hi Keith, my plan is to let other Amibroker users use it for free. Then if a lot of Amibroker users like it, I would eventually have a website that would auto deduct a small monthly fee for using it. If a user decides to stop using it , then they would simply go to the website, and cancel the monthly deduct amount from happening. I am assuming that DLLs can be made that will work only after the small monthly user fee is deducted. Am I wrong? ________________________________ From: Keith McCombs <kmcco...@engineer.com> To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, November 13, 2009 8:13:47 PM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Sharing AFL while protecting intellectual property Converting to a .dll should prevent others from seeing your source code. But it does not prevent others from using it. To do that, you will have develop or purchase some sort of a scheme that prevents installation of unregistered software.
