Quite interesting thread.
I have a question. Sometimes I download demo from BFG and others software companies.
The latest times I get a demo I downloaded only a DOWNLOAD-MANAGER (sometimes I found 'powered by ActiveMark' and so on...) that make its job automatically.
I suppose that the 'protection' of these games is done via internet (so checking if you are the real owner and so on...).
So - even if there is a market for download-once-time software - internet activaction/control seems to become more important every day. (the most 'famous or in-famous' system is Steam - and many pro-developers approched to this platform...)
So WILL Kev's BlitzMax Software Protector work in this way? Or is not in the planning?
ps: from your worklogs you says that there is an application that *at the moment* is using your system. Any information (if possibile)?
