The very best way to deal with this, is in the code. If I am not sure about a client, or if a large project where the client is hosting somewhere other than my servers, I use code. Hide a method with a EXPIRE function. If the date is later than a certain date, the app stops working. When they pay up, you remove that code. If they don't pay, or cut off access to their servers, the code will stop working. I have actually had to enforce this 2x with some very large customers, and it works. Unless they have some guru that can go through the code and find it. You should also write into the agreement ahead of time, that the code is YOURS until they pay for it, so this trick is perfectly legitimate.<br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <div style=""><div><br></div> <div>-- </div> <div><br></div> <div>Robert Garcia</div> <div>President - BigHead Technology</div> <div>VP Application Development - eventpix.com</div> <div>13653 West Park Dr</div> <div>Magalia, Ca 95954</div> <div>ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040</div> <div><a onclick="return true;if(window.location==top.location){Popup.composeWindow('pcompose.php?sendto=rgarcia%40bighead.net');}else{top.Popup.composeWindow('pcompose.php?sendto=rgarcia%40bighead.net');}; return false;" href="mailto:
