如何让客户安心 [英] How To Give The Client Peace Of Mind
问题描述
我是一个单人企业，并被潜在客户询问
他们的数据库中有关正在进行的更改会发生什么事情，如果我被公共汽车撞到了b $ b。
显然我的数据库是作为mde文件分发的，以便保护我的知识产权。我如何给予客户平安
介意，除了给他们一个备份mdb文件，任何程序员都可以b / b
工作提供所需的更改等等如果我不是''周围？
当然这种方法会破坏首先分发mde
文件的目的。
任何想法都表示赞赏。
I am a one man enterprise and have been asked by a prospective client
what happens to their database regarding ongoing changes etc if I get
hit by a bus.
Obviously my databases are distributed as mde files in an effort to
protect my intellectual property. How do I give the client peace of
mind, short of giving them a backup mdb file that any programmer could
work on to provide required changes etc if I wasn''t around?
Of course this method would defeat the purpose of distributing mde
files in the first place.
Any ideas are appreciated.

没有冒犯，但是许多人可以在
短订单中复制您在Access系统中显示的IP。有些甚至在cdma上。在
这个主题。
如果你的客户很聪明，他们会坚持拥有
的版权和源代码。我将我的源代码文件提供给客户端，并且
在付款后转让版权。我建议你也这样做，或者给他们一个源代码的副本，理解你保留了
的版权以及将其许可给其他客户的能力。如此慷慨
将有助于你与他们的关系。
或者你总是可以写遗嘱。
" ;对于谁可能关注，
如果我的死亡或其他无能为力的事件，
FPSdata.mdb的版权特此转让给XYZ Corp 。"
No offense, but your IP on display in an Access system can be duplicated in
short order by many, many people. Some are even right here on cdma. In
this thread.
If your client had been smart, they would have insisted on owning the
copyright and source code. I give my source code files to the client, and
transfer copyright upon payment. I suggest you do the same, or maybe give
them a copy of the source code with the understanding you retain the
copyright and the ability to license it to other customers. Such generosity
will help your relationship with them.
Or you can always write a will.
"To Whom It May Concern,
In the event of my death or other incapacitating event, the copyright to
FPSdata.mdb is hereby transferred to XYZ Corp."
感谢您回复DFS。我一直认为
代码无法从mde文件中提取出来。这就是我所说的b $ b。
感谢您的其他评论。我对mdb分发
的担心是，一个不道德的人可以将数据库文件/ b
传递给其他人使用或改变以适应他们自己的环境我可能永远不会知道它。
Thanks for the reply DFS. I have always been under the impression that
the code can''t be extracted from a mde file. This is what I was
referring to.
Thanks for your other comments. The worry that I have with distributing
the mdb is that an unscrupulous person could pass the database file/s
on to someone else to use or alter to suit their own environment and I
may never know about it.
DFS正在做的一点是，它对于
只需查看
界面就可以复制软件的概念，所以你付出的努力保护你的知识产权
最好花一点时间与客户一起获得布朗尼积分，只需
给他们源代码。
这是它的工作原理： -
1）大多数人基本上都是诚实的，如果你诚实地对待他们，那么
将会回报。给他们源代码，他们会更轻松地关于这个问题，这会增加他们对你的信任。另外因为他们知道你的投资受到保护，他们更有可能回来给你以后的工作。
2）有些人不诚实，如果你给他们源代码，他们将会找到更便宜的维护它的人。因为您有一个
协议，知识产权属于您，所以应该没有问题
关于您在以后的软件中重复使用任何例程。您对这些人的责任已经结束，您可以继续寻找支付
在其他地方工作。你还可以想象他们在有便宜的替代方案时会遇到的问题。
如果你想要聪明，那就有软件托管服务。这些工作通过
将您的来源放入托管，然后您的客户可以在某些情况下检索。这需要花钱，所以你必须同意谁将支付b $ b。你有更多的麻烦，如果你更新软件，你需要向托管服务发行一个新版本（这将花费很多钱，因为
）。在一天结束时，大多数人发现它比它的价值更加麻烦。
底线是;如果你不相信你的顾客，那么就不要为他们工作，如果你确实信任他们，那就告诉他们你信任他们。如果您的客户不诚实，他们可以找到一种解决方案，如果
他们已经足够的确定了。

The point that DFS is making is that it would be fairly straightforward for
someone to copy the concept of your software just by looking at the
interface, so the effort you put into "protecting you intellectual property"
would be better spent gaining brownie points with the customer by just
giving them the source code.
This is how it works:-
1) Most people are basically honest, if you treat them honestly they
will reciprocate. Give them the source code and they will be more relaxed
about this issue and it will increase their trust in you. Also because they
know there investment in you is protected they are more likely to come back
to you for later work.
2) Some people are not honest, if you give them the source code they
will go and find someone cheaper to maintain it. Because you have an
agreement that the intellectual property is yours there should be no problem
about you re-using any routines in later software you write. Your
obligation to these people is over and you can get on with finding paying
work elsewhere. You also have the fun of imagining the problems they will
have when there cheap alternative messes up.
If you want to be clever there are software escrow services. These work by
putting your source into escrow which your customers can then retrieve under
certain circumstances. This costs money so you would have to agree who will
pay for it. You have the added hassle that if you update the software you
need to issue a new version to the escrow service (this will cost money as
well). At the end of the day most people find it more hassle than it''s
worth.
The bottom line is; if you don''t trust your customer then don''t do work for
them, if you do trust them then show them that you trust them. If your
customer is dishonest they can find a way round any protection you put in if
they are determined enough.
