Hi,
I am sorry if i posted this request in this mailing list but it seem
to be the more suitable among the ones hosted in the apple developer
section.
If you can suggest a better place where i can post it, it would
definitely help.
i would like to know what is the most popular way in the Mac world to
protect/licensing a commercial software
What i need a 3rd part software to
protect/licensing my product (not just the installation process),
and to rely on it as the only way for licensing it.
I Know many of them in the windows world (Sheriff-software, Aladdin
HASP) but i want to know what is the most common
for Mac OSX.
Hmm, would "none" be a good answer?
Most of the products I've seen are using proprietary software solution
(you need to enter a license number and voilà). Some solution may
require you to go to a website first, enter a registration key to get a
final license number but that's all. Usually, the solutions that are
phoning home to confirm a license number is legitimate are quite
criticized by "users".
I had a quick look at Aladdin HASP and it seems to be available on Mac
OS X too.
For a pure software license SDK, the only one I can think of is the one
made by Stone Design. Only issue is that it's Cocoa only AFAIK and your
products seem to be X11 applications.
