I bought a script that's IonCube encoded and was connecting to a license server. The company that I bought it from took down the license server without warning, so the script that I bought stopped working. They're not responding to emails either. I need someone to decode the PHP files so I can get my site back up. If you can do it, please PM me.
If you bought it encoded you have no legal rights to decode it. You can go after the company that sold you the script and ask your money back or maybe start a law suite. Anyways, as stated before, if someone will decode it for you, you will have to pay a lot of money.
i agree with joseph S and moreover if you manage to get it decoded by someone , it may be illegal according to the licensing terms of your script provider and that may affect your lawsuit (ie,if you are going to file one against them)
Decoding scripts encoded in Ioncube is illegal and Ioncube can take action against you as well as the script owner.
i doubt that decoding a script to keep it using LEGALLY is illegal. there are laws that allow cracking of protections to retain the INTEROPERABILITY. (like deCSS was defacto legal because of its use to let css-dvds run on linux computers)
