How to make a Lectora cd-rom/exe file with copy protection
May 10, 2014 12:00 AM
I am trying to figure out how to make an exe file copy protected on a cd.
I was thinking to have Lectora read a hidden file with a code (simple text e.g. 'admin') to verify the validity of the disk. If someone copies the disk, they most likely will copy the visible files and not the hidden one, in this manner maybe we can add some copy protection.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to implement this, or how to get Lectora to read an outside file?
Thanks,
Luis

When the evil-yet-digitally-inapt pirate launches his copy, he'll see that it wouldn't work and start googling for solutions. Something along the line "lectora exe cd rom copy". Guess what forum thread he finds then :)
Sounds like you ought to Google "cd copy protection" and use those techniques.
