XProTec.au3 = automated Protect and get *Paid*

[S0789300]

Hey Val. where are the notes/readme for this .au3? Some comments say see license notes or see Blacklist. Am I simply overlooking something?

There are no actual readme/notes for this UDF. Just a lot of explanation on page #1...*** JUST NOTICED, ITS GONE *** and a couple of other pages thereafter.

I guess most of the explanation on that page was lost in the move to this Forum.

Hi Valuater,

I took your code and created this:

$D_Mail = "blabla@blabla.com " ; your email - I put my real email in!
$D_Program = "MySample" ; your program name
$U_Price = "3.00" ; the amount of money you wish to be payed by the user
$U_Trial = "30" ; amount of days for the trial period
$U_License = "3" ; 3 = one computer only - see license notes
$D_License = "" ; developers license #
$D_PayPal = "www.paypal.com/my account-link to paypal" ; - paypal link
$D_Link = "www.mywebsite.com/.../" ; looks for "www.mywebsite.com/.../Blacklist.txt" ; see Blacklist
$U_Return = 1 ; pay or quit .... or  $U_Return = 0 ; will return control to developer with @extended = 6 [Limited Freeware Option]

XProTec($D_Mail, $D_Program, $U_Price, $U_Trial)

; your script starts here ..............
MsgBox(16, "XProTec Sample", "This is just a sample!")
Exit

I compiled it and started it. It asked for my email address and I entered one. I got an email with a code that I entered in the proper box. After that my message box came up and the program ended after I closed it. A donation page did not come up.

Now if I start the program all that happens is that it goes directly to the tray bar showing a balloon tip that says: "Register as a developer".

Even so I read through the whole thread I do still not understand how to register as a developer?

Ok this is great script. Props to Valuater for the time spent. He has helped with difficult problems in the past. thanks for all the hard work and support.

Anyway, one thing I don't remember seeing on all these pages is, how do you uninstall it if the user wishes to remove the program from their computer. I planned to use Inno to package it but the Xprotec makes registry entries etc, so is there something to remove it?

And what is the ClickTask.com in the code?

I get these errors when trying to compile. Anyone know why that is. I don't have <date.au3> as an include anywhere.

If the files are removed from your "un-installer" a reg cleaner will get most of any reg entries. However, a few may remain with clicktask.com in it for future re-installation protection.

... etc, etc

One of the includes you are using must include the "date.au3" file. The best way to fix this is to replace all "_D" in XProTec.au3 with a double underline "__D"

Use the search and replace in SciTe to accomplish this. There maybe a couple that are missed and will need to be fixed manually.

After i compiled it, it all worked out well, but when i run it and enter my email to get the pay link sent to, after i press ok i get this "COM / Internal Error" This program has been interupted by a Fatal COM Error.. What could be the problem ?

ive set my smtp server correctly and even changed the port to the right one.

Sorry, but this error "COM / Internal Error" is caused by a the smpt function for the email only. Try removing this function and running it seperately to test for errors. after that, you will need to post in the link provided for com errors.

Hey Valuater!

I found your great UDF before some month and now its time to test it ...

Is there a different between XProTex_Free.au3 and XProTec.au3? Or is XProTec the same Version, just "kissed" by a Obfus?

And it would be finde, if you could give us a little description, how it works...

With a database? What do I need to use it.

Is it safe enought? Why?

Can someone make a "crack" for it, if he have a look on your UDF?

Would be really nice to get answers ... *hehe*

Much thanks,

Aca

No, just "kissed" by a Obfus

And it would be finde, if you could give us a little description, how it works...

Well, there is a lot of explanation on the first page and many helpful hints throughout the thread. Unless you have something specific in mind... please ask.

With a database? What do I need to use it.

Is it safe enought? Why?

The end user MUST have internet access or XProtec will not allow the program to run.

There is only a database/file on "your" website called "blacklist"

There is nothing else required except a website if you want a database and an email account to email verifications.

It is only "some-what" safe. There is no absolute security available.

Can someone make a "crack" for it, if he have a look on your UDF?

Would be really nice to get answers ... *hehe*

Much thanks,

Aca

Yes, anyone who reads the UDF here can easily understand the mechanics and "crack" XProTec. That is why it was originally released obfuscated.

Hope that helps

*hehe* Thank you ...

Yes, i saw the explanations,... Iam not lazy ...

I meant, what exactly XProtect is doing...

If the file is like a database, okey... Thats, what I wanted to know...^^

I thought, is just a "blacklist", like, that I can fill in some emails, which cant pay.

For my last question, the "safety"... Maybe you missunderstand me?! That we can change your UDF, for sure, thats no magic ... But it is easy, to simulate a Payment or something like that, to avoid the payment?

So, I mean in a "easy" way ...

And it is possible to make this harder? By... dunno... like some Stringchanges in a Obfus before Using or something like that...

That everyone have not the exactly released Version?

And last question *hehe*... Sorry, for my "long" interesting... -> Can I test it without a real payment ?

Thank you,

Aca

[Valuater]

Yes, you can change the code to fit your specific needs.

You will need to test it with real money on your own account.

.... Or else there could be errors when someone wants to pay you.

I have a problem when i will start the script is the error:

Error to #include xprotec.au3

Can you help me?

[Melba23]

EpicWorld,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

You need to download the xprotec.au3 file from the first post of this thread and put it in the same folder as your script.

You seem new to AutoIt - reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You might also want to look at the "#include" page.

You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page).

There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.

If you have further questions, please put them in the General help section.

M23

[EpicWorld]

ohh in the same order ^^ i have think in the in the include order by autoit ^^

[Valuater]

Thanks Melba, best answer he could get...
