所以,经过6个月的努力,我终于发布了我的申请。今天我发现第一个下载它的网站被破解了,我想知道你们程序员同事中是否有人知道如何应对这种东西?

有什么软件作者可以做什么来让破解的版本离线,或者我只是骨头,不应该再创建任何软件,而只是在客户的项目上工作?你有什么建议?有人有这方面的经验吗?

编辑:编程是我所做的——所以是否继续没有问题,只是客户为每个项目支付真金,我仍然不知道独立开发是否至少会为所投入的时间付出代价,现在有了破解的下载,我试图评估该做什么,以及是否有办法做出反应

帖子讨论:当我看到这个问题引起了多大的兴趣时,我想说,即使不是纯粹的编程主题,社区也需要说出他们的想法。我想说,对于任何对这个主题感兴趣的程序员来说,这个页面都是一个非常好的读物。

让我们来问问新闻电台的乔,他认为你应该怎么做: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T-CreVC_6Y

但就像他们说的,这是值得偷的好迹象。

我发现现在很多人接受失败,忽视道德违规和公平之类的事情,这让我很失望。

Consider piracy as a business expense that comes with the territory of having a product that can be sold to thousands at near zero product cost. We can't have it all our way. Just use basic protection to stop customers passing it around. Anything more is not worth the time and expense. Don't make your paying customers jump through licensing hoops. Often I'll pay for a product, get driven crazy by the licensing scheme and seek out a cracked version. Make trials not by period but by hours used. It's easy to get diverted and not have a chance to evaluate the software. Most people won't consider to ask for an extension. Consider if you've pirated music CDs, movies, software etc. yourself and rest in peace knowing it somewhat evens out. Always have different levels of your product. People don't want to pay big bucks for a product they only use 10% of. Make the product fantastic. Customers will eagerly await the latest version and not want to wait for a crack to appear. The users of poor products think, "I hate this product, it's full of bugs, but I haven't found anything better yet". That's inviting piracy.

拿着你所有的钱,进入另一个行业。上次泡沫破裂后,我放弃了编程,现在拥有几家加油站。

我的员工有猎枪来保护我们的产品,这似乎比模糊的法律威胁和keygens/drm在软件世界中更好。

并不是说这是你必须要走的路,但许多开发人员免费或低成本发布他们的软件,并从支持中获得收入。这听起来可能没有效果,但降低产品成本会极大地增加你的用户基础,所以即使只有1%的用户需要支持,你也会获得不错的收入。
