I have web based ASP/ASP.Net program that requires SQL Server to operate.
I would like to sell the program online and therefore need a way of distributiing it securely.
I would like to offer it as a download that then it needs to be installed and after 30 days a licence needs to be purchased to continue using it.
And a system for installing updates - when they occur.
I need to protect the files so they cannot be backward enginereed? This may not be necessary?? Recomendations on protection is required please.
The site is [[login to view URL]][1] - you can log into the program using username = Garyh and pwd = garyh66
I am not sure - but I think an Install Shield type application is what is needed??
Open to suggestions.
Gary

I need to know in more detail your proposals.
The way I see it working is.
You will prepare all my application files into a [login to view URL] file.
The prospective client will be able to, after filling out an online details form, download and run the exe to install my program.
Appropriate entries will be made in IIS.
Once installed the client must run a Licence/configuration tool where he must enter a licence key to control the expiration of the program?
From within this tool we must create the SQL server database. I think there is a free version of SQL Server that can be used?
We may have to package this within the download??
We should also be able to download any updates from our server from this utility??
