Tracked to of which use? You cannot prove that the customer actively gave his friend a copy. The friend could have borrowed the cdrom/floppy/whatever, made a copy of the software and put it back without the customer knowing. Like Jake said, whatever software you add some kind of protection to it will be cracked. -- - Rikard - http://bos.hack.org/cv/ -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
