- ' How to get a registration key for GBLIB2.EXE
- ' ============================================
- '
- ' In order for GBLIB2-branded files to be effective, it is important that the
- ' branding software is only available to developers. If the security of the
- ' branding is in question, then it becomes pointless to brand it at all.
- '
- ' Consequently, I have decided to release a restricted version of GBLIB2 so
- ' that you can have a look at it as FREEWARE. The only restriction is that
- ' unless the correct code key is passed to the WriteRegData routine, then
- ' the branding information cannot be varied.
- '
- ' If you are a Visual Basic developer, and want to use it, then I am happy to
- ' enable the WriteRegData routine for you as a free service. This will involve
- ' compiling an individual version of GBLIB2.EXE for you, and supplying a code
- ' key that matches this version.
- '
- ' If you are a software pirate, then I'd rather not do this.
- '
- ' All I have to know, is how to tell the difference, when I am asked to supply
- ' a code key, between a bona fide developer, and a pirate.
- '
- ' When applying for your registration, therefore, I will make two requirements:
- '
- ' 1) You email a completed REQUEST.BAS to me.
- ' 2) You also email some recent VB source code that you have written.
- '
- ' If any fields in REQUEST.BAS are incomplete, or you omit the VB source code,
- ' then do not expect a reply.
- '
- ' The source code, of course, retains your copyright, and I will only use it
- ' for verification of your status before deleting it from my hard disk.
- '
- ' The details in REQUEST.BAS will be stored in a confidential database, and
- ' used only if your registered copy of GBLIB2 has been used irresponsibly.
- '
- ' Thank you,
- ' Gordon Bamber.
