Glad to be of help and glad it worked out for you. The Max components are a nice set of components and shame that the web site is closing.

Easy to use after studying the demo applications, and suits my demands. Exploring the source gave some view on what to do. thanks for your suggestion. andries ________________________________ Slide scanning / dia's scannen vanaf / from E0,08c www.scancare.nl ________________________________ ________________________________ From: Charlie Chambers <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, January 27, 2010 10:31:54 AM Subject: Re: [delphi-en] protect delphi program by activation key Hi Andres, Have a look at: TmxProtector http://www.maxcompo nents.net/ index.php? id=2&page= 1&linkid= 8 Cheers, Charlie ----- Original Message ----- From: Andries Bos To: delphi advanced group Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 2:10 PM Subject: [delphi-en] protect delphi program by activation key I would like to add a small and simple protection for my program. It's not a program to be likely hacked within the future, but I would like to add some protection and 'activation' . This activation will be done by entering a unique key provided by me. I have done this in the past by retrieving the hard disk serial (and mybe some other serial numbers) and use this number to generate a validation code. This would trigger to create a register key that could be used to validate the program at startup. However, this was, some time ago on windows 2000 machines. now things might have changed with windows vista / 7 Where within the windows 7 / vista register is one allowed to create a validation key. Maybe someone could direct me to some open source example to generate a validation key? I've done some googling, but only finds some commerial products without source. Also a snipled of code shoul be welcome as a start. regards andries ____________ _________ _________ __ Slide scanning / dia's scannen vanaf / from E0,08c www.scancare. nl ____________ _________ _________ __ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
