Evaluation period

Can we make our website system have an evaluation period? I mean, if the website system is not activated within certain period after installed, it can't use anymore. Anybody has any idea about that?

Hello,

you mean somesthing like a selfdetroy function or something like that?
The big problem is, you give your code away -> they can use it.

To really protect your work, i think this would be a safe way:

1. First you have to protect the source -> encode it!

sorry that i cant give you a link, but you should find some with google.


2. Evaluation period? I would forget this, make a domain on whitch the system is running, and your customers can try it out.

PHP is to easy to make a real good protection without encode the source.

Hello,


encoder for php files:

http://zend.com/store/products/zend-encoder.php

with this you can do what you want:

have a good protection against reverseengineering
you can have a evaluation period for the files...

But it cost money! you get what you paid for.
