How to lock down a script that I am selling?


inVINCEable

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

So i just completed a script I want to sell, but I don't want the activation part able to be viewed to prevent pirated copies of my script floating around. Anyways, I have decided I need to purchse something like ioncube, but the problem is with that, doesn't my client then have to install ioncube on their server? I want something easy that will not change a thing (.i.e they just install the script as normal).

 

Any tips ? I know it isn't possible to create something 100% foolproof, I just want something that will slow most of the bad guys out there.

 

Thanks!

I don't think there's much you can do without installing a server extension to run the encoded source because PHP is an interpreted language - so the source code has to be visible to the server it's running on.

 

 

You could maybe do some kind of code obfuscation - but that's only going to discourage the mildly curious. It's by no means secure. If someone wants to crack your system, they'll do it.
