Hi,
We have developed an Intranet site using Codecharge 2.0 over the past 4 months or so. We want to sell this product but of course our customers will have access to the source code so right now we are trying to figure out how to make it difficult for anyone to use our ASP code. We were thinking of using some kind of scramble that makes the ASP code un readable and then place the connection object inside a com dll.
Does anyone know how to do this? I've searched for some kind of utility that will do this but was not able to find any.
Any idea/help would be appreciated.

You are realy asking how to protect code of wich probably 90 percent was generated by CC? What do you mean by "your" code? Hve you even seen the open source bit on the CC pages? If you want to encrypt code generated by CC I'd say avoiding piracy is a non issue since you've pirated the CC code already

There is no such thing as pirating the code that CC generates. Are you pirating microsoft when you sell word documents? The product that CC generates is intellectual property.

That was funny....pirating. It is in no way pirating if you are selling the code. CC is a tool to produce apps and you should be able to copyright them or protect them with a license if you created it, just like anything else. I'm not sure of how to go about this, but I would make the client sign a contract that clearly states agreements of the buying the code if they end up using it for production environments. Something that would hold up in court, I wouldn't mess around with encrypting it etc.
Just my thoughts.

I bought a program a while back called "proposal kit" and it had some basic agreement type forms in it. I have also downloaded some others off the web. If they aren't willing to sign an agreement, then you can bet they aren't willing to pay in the end.

Hi,
compile your site using sitecompiler from www.octopod.net Expensive but probably worth it

Also try
http://www.newobjects.com/prodct/Category/61/Story/267
a less expensive ASP to DLL compiler.
Glad to see other people have this problem.
