Hello, I hired a programmer for some flash application. Everything went good except the final delivery of a product. He said that he will protect the application only for 1 domain (mine). I paid this application $4500 and this is totally unacceptable for me. I told him that he needs to send me unprotected application as well all source codes... The main reason why I want unprotected aplication is that I can edit it later. He will probably send me all the codes but I just want to be sure... Can he protect it somehow or not include all files so that I won't be able to edit it later? Thanks
You paid for it, so you should be able to ask for the source files - that is the only (realistic) way you are going to be able to make changes to it. When you release it (and future versions) you are likely going to want to protect it - IIRC http://www.kindisoft.com/ is the best for this.
