This parameter enables the copy-protect attribute and is disabled by default. Prior to Version 2 of the database manager, the default was to enable the copy-protect attribute.
This parameter does not apply to UNIX-based environments.
The backup database and restore database utilities are not affected by the copyprotect parameter. It is possible to back up a copy-protected database, restore it to a different workstation, and then catalog and access the database.
Attention: Remove copy-protection from all databases before reinstalling either the database manager or the operating system. If you do not remove copy-protection, you will receive an error when you attempt to access the database. After you have reinstalled, you can enable copy-protection.
