   Preventing an app from being run remotel   
   13 Nov 09 09:46:42   
   
   From: otie_nospam@cox.net   
      
   I have an expensive VB6 program that I do not want other people to operate   
   on a "time-share" or remote basis. Here is the scenario:   
      
   User A buys my program and sets it up on his computer with all the license   
   codes, etc. But now user A connects with others via TeamViewer.exe or some   
   other remote access program so that they can run his fully licensed program   
   without my permission and in the process he sells this "time-share" computer   
   time and makes money from it, thereby creating a situation where others   
   don't have to buy my program and can operate it with full-features enabled.   
      
   Is there anything I can do in VB to stop people from running/operating my   
   program via a remote connection? Is there any way to block remote mouse   
   operation or remote keyboard operation such that only a local mouse or local   
   keyboard has any effect?   
      
   Thank you.
