Re: encrypting / licensing a script

Show all headers | View raw

VB and VBScript are entirely different things.
For VBS you want:

   microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript

  There's an MS encrypter for VBS that turns out
.vbe files, but they're fairly easily decrypted. There
are also programs that claim to turn VBS files into
EXEs. But the long and the short of it is that script
is plain text, so you're going to have a hard time
trying to sell script software. And to attempt
encryption is to lose the advantages (transparencey,
editability) of script while keeping the disadvantages
of dependencies and low efficiency.

|I have written a VB script to run as a macro add-on to another piece of 
software.
|
| It has to be saved with a file extension ".m1s" to work in the 
environment.
|
| Is there any way I can encrypt and eventually licence this script?
|
| Perhaps I could make the ".mls" script call an encrypted vb script - if I 
did, would variables still be passed into the host software?
