However, I was hoping to put a little plug for my company by attaching a signature in the file, just a quick like that says "This database was developed by Company." Does anybody know if there is a place to do this in FMP? I don't want it easily removed, and not totally inaccessible either. Any advice most welcome! I'm using FMP9. Thank you! ]]>Mon, 21 Jun 2010 01:23:30 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215155http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215155 I work as a developer for my company and I was given the job to develop a database system into a stand alone application using FileMaker Pro Advanced. Everything is going well and according to plan and we are close to the point of marketing our software. Our problem is we, of course, wish to copyright our software like any other application I would design and release as a software engineer. Our attorney is demanding some sort of true code for the copyright process, however since FileMaker does not actually have a code behind it like C++ or other traditional programming languages I would use to develop with I have no idea what to provide for copyright licensing.

Any help or pointing in the right direction is greatly appreciated... ]]>Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:22:57 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/214788http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/214788
I work for a small company with only 3 full-time permanent employees. I am contemplating suggesting a FM database to manage their inventory and all related activities, including production, sales order, pick sheets, order staging, order shipping, and followup management reports All 3 people will need access to the database at their separate desks. Do they need 3 licenses with one database residing on the server, or can I offer them a system with 1 license for a server installation which they can access from their separate desks.

Thanks for your help. ]]>Fri, 14 May 2010 02:26:26 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/214058http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/214058 I want to generate bar code without using barcode plugin.can we perform this kind of operations in filemaker if yes then plz help me out.

Any ideas how to protect my work so I can track if he's being nasty on me? ]]>Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:35:21 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/213602http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/213602
Was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of any off the shelf 3rd party license management solutions for FM applications ??

The App we wish to protect took over 3 yrs to produce and so we want to ensure only licensed companies can run the thing.

We (but not me directly) have very experienced FM developers so we are open to implement/integrating any solution that gives us flexibility to license software but also to extend license (over time and user numbers), give time restricted licenses for trials etc ! This will not be a Run-time only release of the system.

I have found several sophisticated systems out there but they are all for likes of C/C++ type solutions where the App has to be linked with the Third party libraries.

Any help/direction will be greatly accepted.

I want to do this so nobody can make any changes to the database and so that nobody can copy it. Im not sure if this is possible though.

Thanks for your time. ]]>Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:36:11 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/212501http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/212501 i have developed a solution in which what i want is i will give trial version of that product for 30 days.after 30 day it will ask for key and the key will be provided by our side.
