How can I protect my software from being ripped? Please any kind of advise will be appreciated. Recently I faced such a problem - my software was stolen and posed to be the product developed by second party (it turned out that the thief is one of my previous customers).
If it is good software someone will probably rip it eventually, i don't think there is a 100% sure way. You could implement a activation code or license code which would be put into the software after they buy it. then the software could check with your website everytime it starts and require an internet connection? and you could also encrypt it, or parts of it. I hope that helps
