How to stop piracy of my keyboard files???
Is there any procedure or a safe way by which i can stop piracy of my keyboards.

Previously i have posted & requested to marc that please add some security module into the keyman 7, till this time all keyman 7 betas dont include this security module for the keyboard files. I am very disappointed ???

So as Marc is not helping !!! ???
I am asking to all the keyman developer group please give me some tips to protect my keyboard files from piracy.

Dear Friend

Keyman Developer 7.0 can protect from piracy of a keyboard. And Marc certainly this ability.

If you have a professional version then you can try call dll function method and lock that dll by PC Guard or something. NOT QUITE SURE

This method is great for version 6 of Keyman Developer. With version 7, copy protection is built into the Branding Pack for Keyman Developer. As well as copy protecting your keyboard files, the Branding Pack gives you all the tools you need to create a fully customised Keyman-based product. You can put your own name on it, distribute it how you wish, and resell at the price you prefer.

The release of version 7 (all going well!) is expected at the end of January 2007.

Dear Marc,
I also believe that TIKE 7 is great & the most useful multilingual tool that presently we have. But it will be best if tavultesoft think about some small scale purchase option on branding pack. It is more usefull to someone who is a amature keyboard developer & does not having any big marketing setup like other big multilingual company have (in India) for promotong their software with utlity.
