Protecting software with license keys?

Submitted by Quadrant-X on April 10, 2010 - 8:25pm

I have written some programs in C++ but need to find a way to "serial-protect them" and have keys that work for X days (like, "enter a valid serial for a one month, one year, or 2 year trial/use") Are there any free/open source or whatever methods to taking a single .exe file (I made them portable with ThinApp) and having the NSIS (or other extractor) prompt for a serial, and (for my part of the job, a key generator for my own software)? I need it (my generator/encryptor) to be able to activate the software for a given (preset) duration.

Hi guyz, see i'm new here at portableapps.com.
recently i try to create my own portable version of guitar pro 5 and encountered a problem with the codes. I'm not a programer, i'm an out of school youth just try'in out. this is what i wanted it to be; put the folder "data" from "$APPDATA\App\GuitarPro5" directory in "$APPDATA\App\DefaultData" directory and when i run the launcher it just can't move the "data" folder to "$APPDATA\App\GuitarPro5" directory.

Thank you all so much

The programs are just impressive and the people doing all the work are even more so. Thanks to you,i don't have to buy a laptop! I'm learning how to create my own portable apps and once i mastered the process,i will start contributing. My friends are totally impressed and are spreading the news of this website like wildfire. Anyway thank you all so very much!

Running Portable Apps from a Web Host

Submitted by vadarfone on March 29, 2010 - 8:26am

Hi

So, I had an idea to install a load of portable apps to my website, and have a link on the website so I could use them anywhere, even if I forgot my USB stick.

Now, I have installed Portable Apps on USB, iPod, HD, etc, and I have managed to get the apps installed onto my webspace, with the .EXE showing up on the website.

The problem I am having though, is that I can't seem to get them to run; When I select the .EXE files (I am using Windows to test all this out), the web browser just asks me to save the file, and not run.
