I have shared code (.sef) with other traders in the past and have always included a simple "poison pill" that renders the code inoperative after a certain date. This is a admittedly a pretty clunky way to manage IP, but I couldn't find any info that indicated that there might be a more elegant solution.
Is there any means of restricting the use of shared code to a single authorized user's machine?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to limit use of code to a single machine ID? [SOLVED]
