Hi John, << Windows (Win32s / WinNT) executables are tough to patch. >> I thought I heard the opposite was true. Do you know of any articles that relate to this or insights you'd like to share on this? << We could use the software-only "Schreiber method" of copy protection that requires entry of a password-like "key" number when you install the software. Re-installation of the software requires calling for a new password. >> Besides the impact to you of manning the phones 24 hr/day all year round, is their software protection scheme any more secure than a dongle? Good luck with your upcoming release! jonas[adesk]
