Abs* 12 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi guys - just wondering if there is a way to kill bots after the first run - what I am wanting to do is give a freebie to my list - but I will continue to update the bot - so what I do is use Andys Net66 protect script so I can update on the fly - however this will require all users having a licence - licences are auto generated when users buy however as I will be giving it for free I was wondering if I could create a small bot which will open a subwindow - it will create a licence for the user and then delete itself - I looked at the delete folder command but of course this isnt possible if the bot is open - I could maybe have the bot open, create a licence then auto start another bot which will delete the folder containing the licence creator bot however im not sure how to make the bot auto close either - if anyone knows a workaround then it would be great thanks abs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Net66 54 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi Abs, I am beta testing something in Protect Gold that might help toward this. I can send you the beta version if you like (just don't use it for live bots just yet). Its a feature a bit like the trial feature but it enables users to put the keyword 'free' instead which will generate a 'free license' on the fly. You can then use the auto update feature, etc. Free is different from the trial system as it doesn't prevent users re-installing or moving the license from PC to PC. I'll email you about it now. I am happy for other Protect Gold users to have this beta too but only on the understanding that I cannot give it the level of support I do usually, if there are bugs in it I cannot guarantee a time-line for fixes, etc. You can run this beta alongside the last stable version so you can use the stable one for your existing bots.

Luke 18 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Couldn't someone just copy the file and only run the copies??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Abs* 12 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just wanted to update the thread and make a note that Andy has done it again - Hes come up with a way whereby users are able to register the licences themselves while allowing me to keep the user details - This has now eliminated the need of looking for a workaround by killing the bot - Not to mention that I am still able to auto update and keep the script protected Thanks Andy Abs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
