I still don't think that it is a good idea to try to make a nib file "private", though

I would be happy to hide my License panel from inspection. It is not impossible to spy out the license code for a hacker but it will be *a little bit* harder to find an entry point.

If you *really* want to do this, then you may want to create your GUI programmatically, without any nib-files in your app. This is slightly cumbersome but fairly easy, especially if it is just for one panel. (You'd probably still want to use IB to set up everything for convenience's sake and then go through your GUI objects one by one and instantiate and initialize them directly from your code, using the dimensions, locations, connections, and other settings of the nib file as your template.)

For anybody with a little bit determination it's probably going to be easy to patch your code in order to simply circumvent the license check, though, regardless of you using nib files or not.

With kind regards

Piers
