PHPTOM Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi, Basically I would like to distribute this script I am making with a serial number what calls to my server to check if its valid. Any ideas on how this is possible? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/122583-solved-php-licencing-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomatt Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 You're dealing with open source software. This code can easily be removed. Any code you use to verify will be known to anyone who downloads your script, and will easily be exploited or removed completely. Your best bet is to host the script yourself on a strong reliable server, and provide pay-per-user access to it.

Mchl Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Or just distribute it with usual EULA. Those who won't care about EULA, won't care about removing your serial number checking code either.

PHPTOM Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hmmm... Even if I use a third party encrypter it isn't that safe i've read either. I might host it on my server and use Pay Per Access. Thanks guys!

Mchl Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think the best approach could be: give it out for free, support for cash... Of course if such business model would yield any profits depends on many factors...
