ahzulfi Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hello, i have made a video sharing script, now i m stuck on how to make the script so that only such domain which is allowed and have it license to run the script can run the script rather then those who dont have license, i want to give complete source code to the user so that they can make addon and do adjustments they want but i also want my script not to leak, please help me how to firgure this problem out.

atlanta Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I think you wanna look at zend or ioncube or php audit something along those lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahzulfi Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 but it can be DeZended and Decoded by paying just $5 for a single file , thats why i m giving the whole source code, so that no one can decode it, but put my license CHECKER or DOMAIN VALIDATOR on some secret places where even i sometimes not able to find , so , is that a good idea or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 if you wrote such great software you would probably have a contract for it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethnet Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 If you think it's hidden well enough, I suppose that is a possible way to do it.. although, if someone wants to use the script bad enough without getting a license, that's not going to stop them from finding it, trust me. I haven't really dealt with this sort of thing before, but I imagine you could omit a few lines of code that are necessary for the script to operate properly (lines that can't be replicated by anyone who just views the source) and put them in a script that is executed off of your own server. That script could then run any form of validation you desired, since you would have complete control over it. I'm not sure if that would even work or not, or even if it's what your looking for in a solution, but it's worth a shot. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Why not make them sign a contract holding them responsible if the source is leaked? I'm sure you could something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resago Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 what if you kept it on your server, then you could let them do an include to it. then just have it check referer against allowed domains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattclements Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I was thinking that you could make an installer which extracts an encoded licence into a random (fairly well hidden) directory... even if somebody found it, they would have to decode it... and if they ever want to, somebody will find a way.... cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Put an agreement into any purchasing agreement that it is a single domain license. If you find they are using it on a different domain, sue them. You can never 100% anyone from being able to steal from you, you can only make them want to not steal from you.

mattclements Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I agree with that entirely! also if you have the file hosted in an acessable area... you could get a search to look for all invalid licences... just a few ideas to be honest cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
