In other programs the answer has been to introduce 'compiled' shaders, that can not be edited.
In photoshop we had the same problem with 'recorded actions' being completely open till that was changed in version CS(something)
Till then you're trusted to be on your best behaviour. ;-}
When I can not edit a shader , i will put it right away in the garbage. Shader locking that you have to take them" right they come" are worst. I need to edit shaders for my scene , light etc.. Otherwise they are simply useless.
I would do the same, I can understand someone wanting to protect their product but if the only way they can do it is by restricting the use of the purchaser I am really not interested and that goes for any product, not just shaders.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
