AW: OT: copy protection / licensing for Mac?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Bonjour Eric,
yes I understand the sensibility of the subject and I didn't expected to
find solutions, but thoughts, as yours.
Up to now, I handled my copy protection with the absolute minimum of work,
with taking a copy protection tool on CD, as I said in my first post, but I
would like to provide features as limited trial versions and protection for
Mac users too and that's new for me.
Thanks
