Buying Is it possible to license my site/script?

    Hi,

    I have a turnkey site that not alot of people have at the moment. It is just 3 folders and some php files and sets up pretty easily.

    As you can imagine with the ease of setup is also the ease to steal the script or give it away. I would like to setup a license or callback feature where if a person buys the script they would only be able to install it on one domain.

    Is this possible?

    its called obfuscation, if you'd like to keep the source hidden.

    Hello,

    I understand that the obfuscation just hide temporally the code, this means you can decode using any online tool, I'm right?


    Regards!

    The person who tries to decode it would need to figure out what the encryption key is. And that would be set by you, or the programmer.

    Obfuscation alone won't help them from leaking it. It just will prevent any modification. I recently wrote a licensing system, integrated with Alertpay IPN. You select what parts of the code you want encoded (ZendGuard), and it gives you a management system to know what active licenses are out there. It sends out an email upon purchase that confirms their purchase and gives them a link to setup their domain once. After one domain set, their domain is locked in aside from being changed by you. If you're interested in something like this, send me a message. We can discuss exactly what features you need, and talk prices.
