Thanks! > > Ioncube: <http://www.ioncube.com> Pretty much any source code encoding scheme can be defeated, given enough work. The point is in making sure that it is too much work to do so. Though I wonder what the point is - it's not likely to be all that hard to run the code on another system. The main point seems to be to prevent administrators from making local changes, and I must admit to not seeing a problem with people who have bought the software doing that. Joachim
