I’m sympathetic to a vendor's need for keys. A (long gone) shop I worked in suffered the grab-and-run of a well-known product from its licensed location to an unlicensed one. Thanks to a rogue operator who I guess wanted to make his day to day job a little easier and figured out how to do a

That's the problem. If you give customer Source code, they can get around the key. The only thing I could think of, was to only deliver object to certain Batch and Online modules that never change. Sort of Black Box those modules. On the contract thingwell in our case at the time, it was a

Tom, I guess it all depends on your contract terms. If the software requires a key to run, then you should be able to get paid for delivering an updated key. If you are delivering source code, well any competent programmer could probably circumvent your key logic and be prepared to face the
