Description :

Tprotect is a Component to protect your software from piracy. 
The user will be asked for a registration password, once this
password is set it will generate an encrypted file with the hard 
disk serial number and volume name where the application was installed, 
so your application won't be able to run on another computer without 
this file, it won't run if you change the volume name of your hard disk, 
It won't even run on another hard disk, unless you give the correct password. 
once the right password is given it won't appear again meaning your 
application is registered. >:)
