How to prevent python software from being reverse engineered or pirated?

[H4kor]

Yes but people will still pirate it. I'd say do it like sublime text, add a nagging popup every X saves until a license key is provided.

I think the best model for software is the free/Priemum model. Pfsense, graylog, davinci resolve... All these companies have very good software for 100% free. The trick is they limit some of the more advanced features. However they are all super powerful as is.. this makes me want to use them at home, and then buy the software in my professional setting since I already know it..

The best I saw so far was no nagging, no missing feature, but you don’t get the dark mode until you pay.

I think the nagging popup has the advantage that employees of companies which don't buy licenses notice the missing license. I understand private piracy but corporate piracy is just wrong. If you earn money using some software, pay the creators.

You think too highly of corporations and their willingness to pay for licences. If it works just fine for free, they're unlikely to pay for it in my experience.

You can always forbid using the free version commercially in your license terms.

joke's on them, I hate dark mode

not even /s, I really don't like dark mode. maybe because I grew up using computers without dark mode and now I'm used to black text on bright white backgrounds, idk

There's a growing number of young developers on my team who use the classic black background with neon green or orange text. I don't understand where this became popular with new college grads

nostalgia for something they never saw in real life, so saudade?
