Not exactly. Passwords do not prohibit the use of a stack or a 
standalone, they just disallow viewing the scripts. If you've built a 
standalone, then there isn't much a user can inspect under the hood, 
scripts or otherwise. If you distribute a password-protected stack, then 
anything that doesn't require script access can be viewed or modified if 
the user has a copy of the IDE. Basically, if it's a stack, everything 
is open except the scripts. Standalones are more locked down and are 
pretty much immutable and uninspectable.

If you want to prohibit use without authorization then you need to 
implement a registration scheme of some type. There's one such system in 
the Rev Store... ;)
