Have an idea for a small software solution for a certain sector in the Irish Market. Plan might be to sell cheaply and try to reap profits in numbers.
If I was to get it outsourced and then own the product, what steps would I take to get it legally Licensed in Ireland. I would just like to make sure that only company/purchasers would be legally entitled to use it. I don't think I have the resources for the MS type of unique licensing codes.
There are two separate issues here
<!--EZCODE LIST START--><ul><li>The legal issues involved in creating a suitable licensing legal end user or reseller agreement</li><li>The logistical issue of protecting your software against unauthorised use</li></ul><!--EZCODE LIST END-->
Many companies simply rely in the first and don't bother with the second. Those that do tend to use stuff like activation codes, license servers or even stuff like [broken link removed] (ugh! :x ). Perhaps somebody like the [broken link removed] can provide you with more information/assistance?
