      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have setup various ThinApps and store these on a fileshare and create start menu shortcuts to these applications. How can I prevent users from copying these ThinApp applications to a USB key to running at home?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are there any settings to secure THinApps to be only run on certain machines/domains IP addresses etc?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Actually the security level (into ThinApp) is a user/group level.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So you can authorize a specific group in AD, and at home on other PC you cannot use the apps.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But on a laptop with cached credential I think you can still run the apps.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Andre&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;**if you found this or any other answer useful please consider allocating points for helpful or correct answers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can just drop a vbscript in your project folder before compiling.  The vbscript can check for the IP address, or some other file/registry key that would be present on these machines and if these conditions are not met, the script would tell thinapp to quit and not run the program.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I use this myself - a script to check to see if the evaluation period has expired and if a specific registry key and/or environment variable is not present.  If both of thes conditions aren't met then the process quits byusing ExitProcess.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I shoud say that unpacking and rebuilding of the package is not big problem.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If virtualized program has some dialog windows then no problem even if user has no access to package folder.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example, your scripts can be foung through dialog vindow of virtualized application in C:\Program Files\ThinstallPlugins\.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I think, ThinApp can be used only as portable-maker.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just tried this... seems that for the next version, any change to c:\program files\thinstallplugins should be ignored and that the original files always be maintained to workaround this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
