Sw copy protection problem

[bobelyk]

Hello ! I am using this code to protect my script from being transfered over illegitimately:

When you add that code to your script, it will ask for a verification using Pc fingerprint.
With another script u create a ini file containing the stored fingerprint, serving as 'key' then give it to the user so he can run the script.


The problem is, once the user verifies once, every other script is able to be unlocked with the same ini file, any solution?

tale as old as time. if u dont want to have ur scripts looked at/modified by others, dont write them in AHK(or any other interpreted scripting language for that matter)

u can setup a server and have the scripts phone home every 5min or so with some computer metadata, depending on how many requests u can handle. of course, thered be nothing preventing one from disabling such checks altogether(see point above)

The problem with that scrip is that only works alone, when you add it to a code it starts generating the same code for every computer

There are lots of posts about software protection, licensing, & registration, too; you can search the forum for them.

Does anyone else see the irony in wanting to copy-protect a script that is written using a free and open source language?

Just change the SWP_Initialize( 0x81645731, 0x19573548 ) parameter key per each program you publish , so the key generation n will be different,

and of course you'll need to do the same for your keygen as well,
