To run a python script without a console - use *.pyw extension. But from what you stated you perhaps don't want to do this. Whether you deploy this check as a service (through py2exe for example) or a straight script, the users may simply kill it if they want to bypass the check. Plus it is not common to use a seperate persistant process to check for licenses. A better way is to incorporate the check directly into the process of the software. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
