- We are in the process of evaluating different network
- alternatives for our students labs. I have installed Borland C++ 3.1
- on an nfs disk, and it is working perfectly. Now I'm trying to find a
- way to restrict the copying of the executable files so that the
- students won't be able to pirate it and to copy it to there home pc. I
- have modify bc.exe with chmodd to execute only, I have try this with
- other executable and it is working correctly. When I do this Borland
- C++ is crashing, it seems that I need to read its own executable.
-
- Is there a way to protect Borland C++ from pirating on an nfs disk?
-
- Does novell as a copy protection feature that will work with Borland C++?
-
- Is the only way to protect it is to ask the student to not copy it ?
-
-
- Thanks.
