Hi,

Is it out there a good tool that could help me with licensing software for
PPC 2003?

How do you implement dynamic serial numbers based on the pocket pc id when
licensing an application for PPC 2003 .NETCF?

Thank you,
Adrian

Honestly I don't worry about it. IMHO it's too much work to implement
anything more than a simple password. People will alwyas steal software, so
the best you can do is assume it will happen, price the product for the loss
and assume most people are honest. Of course, I've never written anything
targeted to very large customer bases, so I've never had to really worry
about it.
