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?

    Both Operator mode and Inspect unfortunately don't fit all the needs.
    We already use the German Version of Inspect called "Operator Interface". -> https://ftp.hexmet.de/PC-DMIS/PC-DMIS_Operator_Interface/

    While one can hide the PC-DMIS code, when the files get copied and opened on another machine all the information is visible.

    In my opinion it should be a setting imbedded into the .prg and .cad files so no matter where the files get opened they don't show the information.



    Then you need to order PCs with no USB ports other than what the DEMON needs to run or you can lock the PC cabinet and put all of the keys away.
