Hi Peter,

But...if he can access the file (as he would have to do if viewing it
remotely) then he can copy it.  Right?

I think your only choice is really printouts or PDF of each layer etc.  Or,
OBD...why not just output an ODB++ file for him to review?

Regards,

Austin

  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.

  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?



  Regards,

  Gerry

  I need to be able to have a customer look at a BRD file without having
possession of the file itself. 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?



  Thanks,



  Peter
