Protected Projects

[Mr_X]

Is it possible to protect a Project against editing or viewing in the editor?

Short answer is no. You can obfuscate the code, but that is about it.

+1 for protected projects.

given the fact that the source is a text file, xml-like, and interpreted, it would likely be a significant effort to add in the code to unprotect it and run it in the Lemur environment plus it would probably slow down load and/or execution time. If they completely changed the model to do something like generate and distribute p-code or an even more binary version you might lose some of the current runtime flexibility. It would also take hackers less than a week to figure out how to extract it from memory once it was loaded into the Lemur environment...

The lemur model is really only profitable for the Liine folks, not for the people that build the apps that generate more sales of the Lemur platform. That's just the way it is until Liine starts paying app developers based on number of downloads.

I'd love to see more of an app-store approach to Lemur content.
Running a single Lemur instead of a plethora of separate apps has tremendous benefits.
Especially now with Canvas, I'd love to see ALL music software developers come over to the Lemur platform.

Understood. Thank you everyone!
