Protecting Software w/ Software License Keys...


  • Subject: Protecting Software w/ Software License Keys...

I'm interested in creating commercial applications in Cocoa and am wondering
what type of licensing, registration, demo mode and copy protection schemes people
are using. Is there any software that you recommend to do this for Cocoa apps? Or are there
easier homegrown methods you recommend?

I could probably make my own, but am having trouble deciding how to "unlock" the app once a valid license key is entered. On OSX, where would you store the bit that says, "Hey, I'm registered now." It can't be the system defaults otherwise, someone can just enter the default and the program is cracked.

Does anyone have any advice or more information on this subject that they can share?


Thanks,

Jeff
