Does anyone have any experience using encryption software? We have just just
started encrypting our products (CD-based and PDFs for now), and I am
finding this experience to be trying at best. We have also wrapped our
product in an InstallShield installer just to complicate the process. So it
looks like: product (PDF) -> encryption software - > InstallShield.
My question is can anyone recommend an encryption software that preferably
offers LAN support (meaning the customer can purchase a 10 license product
(manual), install it on their network server and have 10 workstations access
it instead of having to do 10 separate installs).
I should also mention that the encryption software should have the ability
for us to offer a "real" version of the product as well as a trial version
of the manual (we would like potential customers to be able to read our
manual for a 5 day period and then have the option to purchase it at the end
of 5 days).
Thanks
