I'd happily accept money for any reason, but nobody's ever offered. Losers.

In one physics class that I had last semester there were SO MANY formulas, that by the end of the semester, for the final, the rule went from "one side of a 3x5" to "both sides of one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper" and I filled up one and a half sides in very small writing (we weren't allowed to type it, or else I definitely would have). I hated that teacher...
I actually ended up making a pretty penny during that class by selling text files for the 89 that had all the formulas sorted by chapter and topic...I didn't really need the 8 1/2x11 sheet of paper, but I figured, if I didn't have it, the teacher would get suspicious. The 89 text file was more useful anyway, because, a) it was more legible and b) I could use the "Find" feature to find all equations that had, for example, anything to do with circuits by searching for the letters "V" (voltage), "I" (current), or "R" (resistance).

this is a general knowledge paraphrase of a file on ticalc.
apparently, unless you use the Finance app, the variable /n/ (cursive n) is never changed. So, when you make your program, include the following code at various parts in the program:
If /n/!=123
Stop
(!= is the not equal to symbol) So then from the homescreen you set the varible /n/ to be 123. Then you make a Group of your program and the /n/ variable. When you get paid, send the group over and ungroup it. Then it will autoset their /n/ to 123. Since the program runs only on calcs with /n/ equal to 123m, it will only work on clients' calcs. the group conveniently stays in archive for data safety. if their calcs ever crash (ie a ram clear) it will render the program useless... so you give instructions on reungrouping the group. If your clients are a little more calc savvy and know how to send a group, you might want to make a bit more complicated system... make a SEPARATE program that will store some kind of action ID to X or something and run your main program which recognizes the action id on startup and sets /n/ to 123. you'd need to add sequential password protection, as in each time the action ID is recognized, the client needs to obtain a algorithmic password from you based on the number of times the reset program has been run. protect all your programs and ther ya go. of course you could break it by obtaining the first password, recording it, sending the program and reset program, and running the reset program with the recorded password, but such is the beauty of protected code that nobody would figure it out unless they know how the program works. And even then you could implement a 2-variable system... you could even lightly encrypt them and store them in a custom list, the system is so secure.
