Hello Friends, The cloning of PCB’s or any circuits is a big problem in current market. How can we prevent this? Is anyone known this, let us know. Password applying for board files is one option, but it is easy to hack. Dear all, please feel free we can discuss about this. Thanks for all participants, Regards, Shiva.

    Hi change your design file extension to some other extensions for example change your 123.brd to 123.txt,and add few lines in that text files like "gyhknb,12gflukl" ,save the file.

    While re using do the reverse engineering.

    Hopes resolved.

    Regards,

    Satya
