Isn't there a key feature of your software that you could change to make it online only ?
Not checking the serial or user, this can be (and mostly is) suppressed by a crack.
But an important proprietary function that can't be to easily emulate by a crack and your software can't fully work without. Nowadays there is no more internet access limitations for stuff like that (that's why SaaS is booming for years).
And this could be the first step to your full online version.
- ttoinou 9y agoI could make the UI online and ship the app with a Chromium browser :D
- Xoros 9y agoWell, why not :-) ? I've already done software like that. Still don't know what's yours, but in our case, it was for kiosks and access points. All the UI was online (so if the client ask for UI change, it's automatically updated on every kiosks or access points), and the hardware related code was on the C# software installed (using a scanner, a barcode reader, printing stuff, etc...) Of course it's pretty specific, but as we have to create a key for every licence, you can't have two running at the same time, so no crack. We had bad experience, as a guy to which we sold a licence of the first version of our soft (some nearly 20 years ago), where we just checked if the serial was ok, installed it on multiple places and we found out totally randomly, 2 or 3 years later !
