From: "Gian Lorenzetto" on 4 May 2007 00:32 Hey Chad, Have a look at this: http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/AESProductKey.asp I'm using crypto++ with a wxWidgets app now (although not exactly the above), which works nicely.

From: Leslie Newell on 4 May 2007 05:58 If you use a commercial protection system, remember that crackers will already know it operates and the best ways to crack it. Spend plenty of time searching the internet for ideas, design your own solution and _tell no-one about how it works_! No matter how good your system is, it will be possible to crack it. You just need it to be difficult enough that your average cracker will give up. Unless your app becomes very popular, the experts won't bother to try.
