RE: NONMEM 7 Update
Can anyone explain what advantages encryted source code might have?
For me at least, the NONMEM source code is already functionally encrypted
because of my poor understanding of Fortran. But it is unclear to me what
problem encryted source code actually solves. Can anyone enlighten me?

Subject: [NMusers] NONMEM 7 Update
Dear All:
This is just a brief update regarding the availability of NONMEM 7. We had
hoped to begin distribution of this new version at this time. However, there
are some final code changes to be made followed by thorough testing. We hope
to be able to begin distribution in early August.
Please be certain that the contact information that we have on file for your
license(s) is up to date. This is the person to whom NONMEM 7 will be sent .
Please send any updates regarding the correct contact person to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> .
Please note that NONMEM 7 will have a licensing system. More details will be
provided as we approach the release date.
Our experience with distributing binary code to the beta testers was very
mixed. Some testers had no problems; others had considerable difficulty with
achieving a successful installation. We are now considering the distribution
of NONMEM 7, for the most part, as encrypted source code. An installation
program will be included. The SIZES file and several other resource files will
be left unencrypted so that the user can make desired changes prior to
compilation as was possible with previous versions. This change in our method
of distribution will require that a revised licensing agreement be executed.
