I have a very serious problem that I have been trying to solve for three months now. I need some help please.
I have a program that is a license key generation program. It is written in C++ and we have a command line version as well as a windows version. I want my resellers who are located internationally to be able to go to my website, run the license key program, input the information it needs, and get the key code back. However, I DO NOT want them to have the ability to download the program to their lap tops for obvious reasons.
Now I am willing to purchase software if there is a program out there that can allow us to do this. I have downloaded ASPexec but all that does is start the program on my server and does not give me access to it on the client side.
Please help, my time is running out quickly and It is a dire need for this site.
Thank you in advance!

the easiest solution would be to compile your c++ program on your webserver and use a simple perl script to access it from web for your resellers...
the corresponding perl function to access applications and print the output is system() .

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your help but the problem is I do not know
Perl. I do not know any server side scripting at all and unfortunatley do not have the time to learn them before this project is due.

Under the circumstances, I think it's perhaps necessary for you to track down a very experienced Perl programmer and pay them to do the work.

At the end of the day, what your trying to achieve is something pretty complicated and not something that someone can teach you in forum posts. This is something you need an expert for.
