I created a wordpress plugin, but I want sell it. Its based on my country so its useless here for you :)
Now I want insert a license system on it, what do you suggest?
 
You probably don't want to use a public licensing script unless you want it cracked and shared publicly.. this is BHW after all.
 
Hi,

most protection and/or license mechanisms fail to protect the product.

It really depends upon what you want as protection and who from?
- if it's general release and 'typical' user, that should be an easy task, there are many ways
- if it's against places like BHW and people like me, that's a very different matter...

The best and only real way to protect a product is to retain critical functions on a remote server, rendering the plugin useless without it, making sure there is authentication and call-homes in the critical function calls to ensure you can trace offending users/attempts etc

That said, depending upon what function you keep remotely and if it can be analysed and replicated, there is still a risk

You can invest in the latest version of ioncube etc, as that will give a window of safety, as the decoders follow some months after sometimes, depending upon complexity of the new release.

It all comes down to cost or purchase agaisnt cost of hacking - also volume of product you intend to release.

If you want, you can drop me a pm, and/or the plugin - I'd be happy to identify any weakness and/or possible protection mechanism

Please note, that I would never share your code/plugin/info etc - I simply don't do that.
I null in response to other peoples shares (as a challenge/hobby - never for money or other reward) and I only share stuff I've purchased or found myself wandering the net...

Cheers,
Si

Check out "ionCube loader" for licensing and encrypting your plugin.
