Challenges in converting a web product to desktop version..

I have a web based product and am looking to convert that into a product that can be hosted within a firewall (or) hosted locally by the clients.

Some of the challenges i foresee are:

  1. prevention of piracy
  2. support
  3. maintaining patches and versions (releases)
  4. source control (incase of customization)

Please share some of your experiences on this..

From stackoverflow
  • Have you considered the possibility of delivering a thin client? You could deploy a large amount of the application to them, but maintain core logic and functionality on a hosted server that you control and provide access via web services?
