Could you 'watermark' the program for each user (although that wouldn't be trivial), and mention noticeably that the software is watermarked.
Not sure if that would really dissuade anyone leaking/cracking it though, but it may possibly help determine potentially where the leak/crack came from.
There are probably many reasons why watermarking isn't worthwhile though, as you'd then need to have an 'online' system for generating new versions, rather than simply hosting a single file.
- ttoinou 9y agoGood idea for an unlimited trial but it's for videos, so watermarking would be a performance sink.
- mynegation 9y agoI don't think GP meant watermarking the video, only software binary itself.
