| Cheers. I had a good idea of when an order is placed for some ASP code, it generates one of the page server side, and adds a unique product key into the html. then when you see your code in use you can see if they are using a valid copy, or they got it off a mate! |

You should be careful about that kind of functionality server-side - it is CPU intensive. I don't know what you'd be zipping, but for things like log files, it should be fine. If you are doing a lot of zipping, it could become a problem for your hosting company, unless you have a dedicated server of course. But then it's all volume centric... Just my $0.02.

Should be simple to install, just place the DLL in your ASP.NET applications Bin folder. If you need better support for your VPS, then try our own Hyper-V Cloud Servers instead; https://www.webwiz.net/cloud-servers/" rel="nofollow - https://www.webwiz.net/cloud-servers/ ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
