hi there everyone,

i was looking for script customer validation you know, like the one when you buy a script and you get a product key for it. and check if the customer have the right to run the script and notify me if un-allowed user installed it ... and somthing like that !!

i looked over already but couldn't find something for it.

thankx in advance,

What do you have on your site so far? Because first you would need a member database, do you have mySQL installed on your server etc ??

Ya i do have everything on my server. and first i tried to make the script connect to my server to check if he got the right to install or not, and it worked fine on all the server websites.

but on other server it couldn't work, i changed localhost to P.V.Share, also i tried my server ip but it could not work. i think it don't allow remote mysql access !!

You'll have to encrypt the script's source code with something like Zend, IonCube, Codelock, or some other product. These products can create keys that are used to restrict the script's execution and installation, and can also be used to validate them against a client database.

Also, you don't need to use exclamation marks (!!) for a question like this- it's not that exciting or important. Just ask your question ans skip all the "!!!!!!!!" stuff.

thankx end user,

i did use PhpLockit its free but i dont know if it can be cracked or not. beside it i want to do somthing more professional you know. something like product key like in WHMCS.

Zend and IonCube are fairly hard to crack (although not impossible). They're a little pricey and have some installation requirements on the user end as well, but they're pretty good overall.

Is it possible to access to a remote mysql on another server ? so i can program a script to access my database and checks for the costumer product key ?

[Jcbones]

Yes, but if the other person has your code, he will also have your username and password to the database.

So, What should i do in this case !! i did encrypt the script's source code. but i need this Product Key thing nay ideas ?

Have the script access a script on your server and pass the product key, but not the mySQL login or password.
