Protect Script

Hi,

I have been working on a object that I would like to sell.
How do I protect (hide the script) from user?
What is the best way to protect IP?

In Archicad 17 you can choose the type of licence you want to set in the details page of the object's scripts.
Two of the three license type allow you to set a password that will hide all scripts from the end users.
But don't forget it or they will be hidden from you as well!

Hello,

This works on ArchiCAD 16 too. Activation
of the 'Special menu' allows you to lock scripts
on earlier versions.
