Hi all out there.
Question: I am looking in protecting my DB with the aid of a dongle. I want to use the dongles serial number (USB drive) as the security device. This number needs to be stored in code and not in a table, it is easy to break into a table and change the serial number to a known one of any USB drive. My idea is to distribute the database on the USB drive and then use it as a dongle. My problem is I can store the serial number manually in code, but then I will need to crate a new installation file for every DB.
The bottom line is, I want the system to search for the serial number (or key) in a stored location when you open the DB, if it is not there it need to retrieve it and then sore it in that location. Once it is stored, one should not be able to detect or delete it.
I need some code to enable me to store the serial number in a module or hidden place and then work from there.
Thanks
Lance
