Trying to bypass ion cube protection

[tibberous]

I sent up a script with an ion cube protected header on my local server, and got the message "Your license key is not valid. Your license only supports one domain name, and no subdomains. If you like, you can purchase another license key for a subdomain."

 

I know the domain name it's registered too, so I pinged it to get the server ip. I changed my hosts file so that the domains it is registered to shows up as 127.0.0.1. I made a test page that prints out $_SERVER and dies, it shows the HTTP_HOST, SERVER_SIGNATURE, and HTTP_HOST as what it should be. I then opened the script and set $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] and $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_ADDR'] to the ip string I got for the site.

 

I still get the message!

 

I don't know what other variables it can be using to see what domain the site is at - I even tried killing my internet connection. Is there a way I can somehow see what code is getting called? Or does anyone know of other ways the might be checking the domain? Anyway to attacked the encoded ion cube code? My only other approach is to delete the ioncube file, then try to use the rest of the script to see what was in there.

Do you really think hard working programmers are going to help you break other hard working programmers attempts to stop you trying to wrought licensed software?
