Hi Arturo,

If someone wants to hack your program, they will... We use REFOX
and while the 'UNFOXALL' program from China may decompile ours
we at least make it difficult for people to use ours illegaly.
As far as Hardware keys, if you can decompile my app then you
can take out all the calls to the hardware key... Which
of course in an OOP world we made into a simple object,
so they only need to change it in one place :-(

I guess we just feel that in our industry (Point of Sale Systems)
if someone isn't willing to spend $500 to Manage their Store
and are willing to take the risk on using a illegaly obtained
piece of software (No Support, No Bug Fixes, No Updates) to
manage their Livelyhood, there wasn't much we could have done
to thwart this...

Also if someone wants to Decompile my app and go through my code
and figure out my style of doing things, more power to em..
I dont even like going back and looking at my style from
a year ago! hehe

Just my 2 Cents...
