It depends on what they do with the database. If they follow the procedure that I first outlined to export your data and then import it into their database, then no. On the other hand, if they attach your database and start using it, then yes, it does. BB ships all of the modules with each database, which is how you can access all of the modules in the sample database. Entering the unlock code will unlock a particular module for use. These unlock codes are are stored in the database. If you give them a copy of your database to use as their production database, then they will have whichever modules you had already activated.

If you do give them a copy of your database, then you should have a clear statement of acceptable use and have them sign it.
