He can then use the database and build it somewhere else. I am trying to protect IP. They have Allegro. Hard to explain on here, but I need to keep the data in our hands. _____ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerry Meier Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 6:40 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Remote Allegro file viewing Peter, So if your customer is only going to be using the viewer? send him the .brd file. He can't change anything with the viewer anyway, it's only a copy you still have master data? I don't see the problem or need for remote access?

As at least some of you know the password protection in Allegro is useless. My customer wants more than PDF files and I need to protect the data. I want the customer to be able to remotely access the file and be able to at least use the commands of the free viewer. Does anyone already have a solution or any suggestions?
