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.

I have an auto calculation, global field that returns a number value for how many days are left to register since the customer first opened the solution. I would like to enter that number directly into a custom dialog box - "You have X number of days to register your software."

I found a way to say "You have the following number of days to register your product . . ." and then show it as the result of an "Input Field"

Is there any way to include the calc result right in the middle of text? ]]>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:11:50 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/211165http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/211165
Can anybody tell me if it possible to add a fm security feature that allows you to set a license key on the file that has to be renewed each year?

We are in the process of giving a sister NPO a modified copy of our db, and would like to have some control over the use and distribution of said file.

Thanks

The attorney related that when he ordered the DB that it should not locked since it has been his experience over 20 years that tweaks and adjustments will be necessary, some of which he could or would like to do -- the later, not so unusual.

The attorney and the developer are at odds and I can see both sides but the attorney has his opinion and I can not advise him .... ha hah:)

I have never used the Advanced version of FM since I have yet to really need it and don't sell my work protected -- the missing edit layouts, seeing relationships, etc. are missing and there is no place to enter a password.

Can this database be restored to a normal FM Pro level and if so how? ]]>Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:24:43 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/202444http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/202444 So Now I'll try a broad approach.

I've got a runtime that I'm selling commercially and want to take measures to protect it without using 3rd party products.

Does any one have any coding or scripting ideas along these lines? ]]>Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:55:15 GMT
