Is there a way I can encode or protect my source code written in ASP...

I am selling an online store for a clients, and don't want thim to login through FTP to his server and download the source code.

I think the only way is to purchase an expensive component.

if you don't want someone downloading your source code then why don't you just edit permissions so only certain users can view the files under FTP?

Or you could use a code optimizer to remove things like comments and extra white space such as code indents.  That would make the resulting code rather hard to work with.

Yea, what Bullschmidt is about the best you can do with ASP... with PHP is better cuz instead of using lines you just separate it with a ; so you can optimize a whole script into 1 line (or a few) which makes it almost impossible to work with.

<edit> There's no components that can do that.

I'm using Ensim Control Panel... no such an option

Yes.. I think this is a good way....

I will make his life  if he thought to read the code...

I will add some extra codes to camouflage...

I will add do some CDONTS function in certain pages notifing me if the system is used elsewhere...
i.e. If NOT Request.ServerVariable("HTTP_HOST") = "thedomain" THEN send me an email.

he won't steal it I think.. I am just taking precautions....
