HI,
i have a fortran 90 software and i need to protect the use of it. The
idea is to run a server on a machine in Internet and every time the
code is run the software(is a line-command) connects to the server and
see if it has the necessary rights.
I can make it in C languages,(maybe with socket), but i have no idea
how to call C function in the main of fortran code..can someone help
me? or maybe there are also in fortran some kind of socket?
thank in advance


There are simple methods.
I prefer to write a file to the boot disc and mark it SYSTEM and
HIDDEN.
In the file I store an excrypted form of the date of writing, date of
license expiry and client ID, ID of the disc itself and address of the
sector.
Any program of mine that runs can check if this private registry is
valid.
Finding and copying the license does no good on several levels.
Cleaning up the disc for speed has no effect on system and hidden
files (so far), since there are unmovable.
