A few issues that need attention
Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 10:10 am
I have been trying to find an alternative to my current software protection system I was recommended in a forum to check out Enigma Protector as the best alternative. Enigma is really very robust and usable.
But after playing with Enigma (external/envelop protection) here are a few things that I feel should be considered. Consider this some sort of feature or bug fixing request.

But after playing with Enigma (external/envelop protection) here are a few things that I feel should be considered. Consider this some sort of feature or bug fixing request.
- Facility to transfer license once a software has been registered. I have been using SoftLocx for all these years and it truly is very flexible. In SoftLocx once a copy of software is registered and the user needs to say for example format his/her PC or transfer the software to another PC for whatever reasons there is a facility for user to transfer the license. This process will automatically invalidate existing registration and will generate a number which can be used to re-register the software on another PC. Such functionality is needed in Enigma also.
- A way to show Registration Dialog after registration. Like for example after a user registers a copy the Registration Dialog does not show up. This is just fine, but for any reason if the user wants to see the registration dialog then how can one see it? I would suggest that when the user starts the software if he/she keeps Control (Ctrl) Key presses it should show the registration screen.
- Enigma has a very good feature for allowing a user in designing Registration Dialog but after a user edits the registration dialog and then later on decides to go back to the default reg dialog layout then what should be done here. There should be some way for getting the default registration dialog back.
- After we protect a software using Enigma the most natural thing for anyone is to test the protection on the same PC. Now after testing on the same PC how can we remove the registration/trial information that may have been entered in registry and file? There should be a way to clean sweep such info and remove it completely so that we can test our protection again.
- Finally I have observed that if we save the Registration Dialog layout to a file to another directory and then later in a new protection project if we try to load the saved file Enigma just crashes without any error messages.
