Automatic Secret Email

[Jeff Bills]

Hey All,

Is there a way to have Filemaker secretly send an email without the user knowing it?

I'm working an a downloadable project which, no doubt, creates a risk of the user paying for one copy then distributing it to friends with his original serial number and password.

Thus I thought about having FM automatically send a secret email every so often to verify the singular use of the product on one computer.

Or am I just thinking too hard?

The only way to do that in FM8 (or FM9) is with an email plugin.

However, email might not be the ideal way. Have you dug around the FileMaker Security Management threads?

Thanks! I tried searching but I'll have to dig further

Yes now in FileMaker 10 :
