Hi,

With some help on here I have come up with a publiction that may have some commercial posibilities. This in turn opens up some further questions.

My pub is in the form of a quiz, and will create text reports for the administrator. Am I right that if this is run off a USB stick then the reports can easily be written back to the stick? If it is run off a CD then the reports will need to go into the temp folder which introduces a level of complexity for the quiz administrator that I want to avoid.

Another advantage of the USB stick would be portability, in that the pub could be run from a variety of machines and still store all results to a central place.

I have done a search for copy protectio and have found a lot ot results, but they are all concerned with CD protection.

Is there any way of offering the pub on a memory stick and giving it some level of protection? I know that pretty much anything can be hacked but the risk here is low and so all I want is that a .exe pulled off the stick onto a PC wouldn't run and that a simple copy of the stick wouldn't run either, regardless of how easy it would be to circumvent.

Thanks

Initial response would be that you can force execution of the .exe from the USB drive itself. Been away for a while and need to refresh myself on Opus ways, but do contact me on eomc40<at>yahoo.co.uk and we can discuss further.
Once we come up with a working prototype, we u can post it for rest of folks who might need such functionality...
