    Hi all,

    I have just finished making a little php script that I would like to sell now. Well, but I don't want the clients to buy 1 license and then copy it over and over again on multiple domains. Also, I don't them to share the script on warez forums or related...

    So how can I make my script "secure" (maybe hide the source code) but still be able to handle lots of scripts / clients and easy updating the scripts ???

    What are the best solutions out there for this purpose ?

    Thanks for your help! :)

    ionCube is the best way to go.

    We use it for our scripts and it's amazing. Then use a licensing system for the script. Iono or PHPAudit are very good.

    PHPaudit package with ionCube is probably the most secure way to go.

    And if possible have the script show the name of the site to the user. Generate the text using small pieces of string out of order. Create some of the characters using chr($ascii). Anything you can do to make the encrypted code harder to break. (It's embarrassing to see a little "Written exclusively for abc.com" tag at the bottom of xyz.com's site. For xyz.com, that is. It's also good evidence in the copyright infringement suit.)

    Make your script check IP/URL and encode it by Zend, Ioncube.
