Jarvis Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I would like to sell an application someday, but I am concerned about how to protect it from being duplicated. A CAD package I used to own came with a USB key that had be inserted before you could operate the software. Does this system still exist? Is it a viable "lock" on the software? Where would I learn more about this? Thanks, Jarvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yes there is a solution available for interfacing a USB dongle with FMP and a plugin by 24u Software http://www.filemaker.com/company/newsroom/releases/1303167.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leather Knight Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I also have found "exeshield" to use dongles and it is quite well as far as security goes. I have used it for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I have often wondered how easy it would be to break one of these systems by breaking it at the FileMaker end. That's probably a laboratory exercise thatought to be undertaken. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer Bob Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) USB Stick protection. I tried using the USBSentry system for protecting my files to end users. However I would caution anyone from using their system. They never provided me with a working system and refused to refund my payment. Instead I was forever locked into their PlugIn operating in the Demo mode which was unacceptable. Addendum : After several email exchanges I was given the proper registration codes. The instructions were somewhat confusing and they promised to make them clearer in the future. So far it all works as intended. I had also looked into the 24u HASP Plugin using Aladdin systems keys. This is more expensive and complex requiring a driver to be installed. It can do much more but for just a simple key verification is overkill.
