Software Packaging with Activation/Registration Requirement

[gboethin]

Hi all. I'm going to need to package a Java Application I've developed. I'd like to make it a requirement that the software be activated before it can be used as an anti-piracy measure. I was hoping to be able to find a service that would be able to provide this to me. Could anyone point me in the right direction here, as far as finding a company who might provide this service? 30 minutes of googling have been fruitless for me so far.

Thanks,
Gregg

You will probably have to handle activation yourself, that is what my company does. Generally it involves some sort of activation code associated with their hardware/customer ID.

yep, i think so too. If you're real worried about piracy it would be good to activate it by you. Best of luck.

Just put an activation key on it. I believe that's what is used for most other digital products.

Better than this make your software, dontaionware and allow people to donate what they think its worth. This method of software development ensures we have quality software published rather than crap we pay money for and end up not using
