[jawsscripts] Re: locking scripts to a serial number

Desyree,

I've never locked scripts before and would strongly advise you not to do so
either, unless of course you're selling the code in which case this might be
a useful protection measure.

Code such as this will do the job, in theory - please note that it is
untested.
;--code starts.
Const
chosenSN=12345

void function autoStartEvent()
if (GetJFWSerialNumber() != chosenSn) then
switchToConfiguration("default")
endIf
endFunction
;-- code ends.

This works by checking the current serial number against a value you store
and, whenever the application loads, if the numbers are different, the
default set of scripts are activated.  As I say this is untested - I've
never tried to sell scripts and I'm sure there are those more knowledgeable
than I on the matter here.

One thing to keep in mind is that you'll need an individually-compiled set
of scripts for each serial number of JAWS.

Sean.

Subject: [jawsscripts] locking scripts to a serial number

I am wondering the easiest way to lock scripts to a serial number.  I know
about the function to retrieve the serial number .  Just not sure what else
I need to do
