Seems it would be as effective as cd key protection or DVD protection - meaning anyone doing the copying likely won't be affected and attempts to tighten the grip will probably hurt legitimate customers.
- frits1993 8y agoYou're totally right. However, in the few cases that my software was copied, the pirates were far from skilled enough to dig into compiled JS and find out what was happening. At least, they would start with a simple copy-paste and try to run the copy. If it were to happen again now, I would be notified at that very moment and I can take action accordingly.
- ddtaylor 8y agoSimilar to how cd key protection originally was limited to skilled crackers but as things like SecureRom became normal so did tools that automatically removed the protection from software.
- martin-adams 8y agoI suspect what is more common is a legitimate company just making their life easy to create multiple instances and not pay the correct licence fees. They want convenience. If they want to modify the source code and hack around, then it's probably not going to solve that.
