Abstract A key element of any software is to protect the software from various attacks and in case if any theft has occurred then the developer must be able to prove their ownership. Software Watermarking is one of the technique which helps in proving the authentication of the developer. A lot of research was done in Software watermarking but all this work is discussing on various embedding techniques of a software watermark into a program and the software watermark which was used for embedding is a serial number or a unique identification of the developer. In this paper a new methodology to obtain the software watermark, which is known as Version Based Software Watermark, is given. The remaining part of the paper discusses on the importance of the Version Based Software Watermark, properties of VBSW and evaluation results of the VBSW. Keywords: Software Watermark, VBSW – Version Based Software Watermark, LOC, version number
