Hi:
I want to release a program, which during installation will requiere user to input a key specific
for his/her machine. The problem is that somebody very smart could dissasemble the program,
see my algorithm and make many illegal copies. I'd like to know if there is a 100% safe way to
avoid this problem. If not, what would you recommend me in order to develop a software that
can not easily be illegally redistributed. Thanks

There are programs that will wrap your executable encrypting it. These are some links to related topics on another forum that I use (no Pascal section though)
