I've written a commercial Desktop application in Haskell for the Win32 platform.
The one thing missing is Software Copy Protection, ie. a software licensing mechanism. When I google for "Software Copy Protection" I get a lot of results, commercial products themselves, which is fine, but I can't tell which ones are any good or worth their money.
I've never seriously done C#, VB or whatever people mainly write Win32 apps in, so I don't know any mailing lista or forums where I could ask this question. This list has pretty much been the only list I used for more than 2 years now.
I've never seen a similar issued raised here before so I thought the CUFP mailing list is a better place for this.
Can anybody here recommend a good software for this then? I do not want to code it myself and would prefer a ready to use solution, it it's not free that fine too.
Well that certainly is an unusual question. There are large companies like Apple, the RIAA and the MPAA who have put large amounts of time, money and effort into copy protection schemes only to have them broken, sometimes in as little as a day or two. In addition, by the time you have a copy control mechanism that is partially effective your users may find the experience so painful that using cracked copies is easier.
