There are two different ways of using the CopyMinder command line options.

Option 1

copyminder.exe /o "filename.CMP"

This will use the specified CMP file to protect your program.

Option 2

copyminder.exe /a "source path" "target path" "Product Code" "<Protection Method>"

This will protect the program you specify in "source path", placing the protected copy in "target path".

<Protection Method> should be one of the following:
   "A" - API method
   "S" - Shell method
   "B" - Both methods

Additional options

There are two extra options you can pass before the /o or /a:
   /q - Quiet mode (won't display any error messages)
   /u - Upgrade (won't create a .cm file)
