About

FPOnGuard is port of Turbo Power OnGuard. OnGuard is a library to create demo versions of your Borland Delphi & Kylix & Free Pascal+Lazarus applications. Create demo versions that are time-limited, feature-limited, limited to a certain number of uses, or limited to a certain # of concurrent network users. You could also protect executable file from modification eighter by hacker or malware. It works for Windows and Linux also. Check it, it is really cool thing!

This is a source-only release.It includes package for Lazarus 0.9.16 official installer (and should run fine on later versions too)


The download contains the component package for Lazarus + documentation (pdf and hlp file) and probably all original examples ported to Lazarus.

This component is now designed for cross-platform applications (Windows and Linux-like).Pure Object Pascal.However some parts are heavy system dependant.

TODO

  • Test network usage code (NAF file is not locked?)
  • Better machine ID (based on CPU and HDD physical serial numbers for example)
  • Merge it with HASP USB keys support and others (plugin system?)
