[A83] Re: Making Commercial apps using the freeware key




The unfortunate thing is that commercial apps can be resigned with the
freeware key. Oops.

I just got the following idea about making commercial apps with the
free key. (It's just hypothetical)

If you could check the calculator ID from within a program,
(1st assumption)

then you could make some online program add the calculator ID to the end of
the program, sign the program, and give it away.

in the app, you could then compare the (possibly encrypted) calculator ID at
the end of the program to the calculator id of the running calc.
