Hello

I have this idea of a program that may become very popular. (I'm figuring over 10,000 or even more will be using it)

I dont want to say what kind of program it is because I think I just may be the first to actually build one like this.

Now what I want to know before working my butt of on this program, is how I can properly can protect it. I never actually programmed anything that was for sale or even as freeware.

I am planning to make this script purchasable for under 40$.

Some questions that came in mind when thinking about this program, is how I can license it or protect as much as possible from people using my script for free?

Does anyone have any information where I can read about this issue?

Thank you,
perleager
