Protect know-how of PC-DMIS routines

Is there a possibility to protect PC-DMIS routines (.prg and .cad) from know-how theft?
This includes the routine (measurement strategy like number of points and so on) but also the product (CAD, PMI and so on).

If somebody should steal the routine he should not gain any knowledge (or as little as possible).

PC-DMI should be able to open and run these routines but the user should not gain any additional knowledge than the result (printout, PDF, excel and so on).

Do you guys know of any solution to this problem? If not a buyable product maybe a workaround?
How do you guys (with sensitive information) protect your routines and cad?

  • It's actually not about hackers but knowledge theft of people who have access to the machines.

    My first idea was also to handle this from the IT side (like blocking USB ports and so on).
    The machine needs to be connected to the network though as the data collection is handled this way.

    The best way would be if the routine could be protected to run only.. no visible code.
