encoding and securing my script

Heyy!!

I am planning on selling some scripts but I want to protect them from being redistributed or modified.

How is it possible for me to encode or protect it? What options do I have?

Any ideas??

Thanks

 

You can use ioncube encoding, it's pretty strong and most commercial PHP developers protect their scripts with it. You can find more information at www[dot]ioncube[dot]com

 

Ioncube is the way to go.

 

How about free solutions??

 

Can be decoded too easily.

 

Would this encoder need software installed on the clients server to decode it too?

 

Actually, yes, you must install the decode engine. If not, it's actually very easy to decode by anyone.

btw, zend and ioncube usually already installed on most server

 

You can encode your code cheaply using the ioncube online encoder. http://www.ioncube.com/online_encoder.php. To license your code checkout WHMCS licensing addon: http://www.whmcs.com/licensingaddon.php using this along with WHMCS allows you a fully automated process for selling and licensing your code.

 

If there is a will there is a way. You should use zend if you cannot afford ioncube.. put some call backs that check the development licenses.. make it harder but; as I said.. if there is a will - there is a way.

 

you can get cpanel as this will let you use ioncube

 

Zend Optimalizer is best way how to encode your codes.

 

Try Eval64 Encoder for your scripts. Actually works, but ruins SEO.

 

you can always decode this though i dont think its that secure http://www.whatmyipaddress.net/Base-64-Decoder.php
