Protect PHP script

Post by ccjob2 »

Hi,
I need protect my PHP scripts to limit trial time of my product. When a customer buy the script test it for 2 week and after he pays and uses the script over time limit.
How it's possible ?

Thanks
Carlo

There is Source Guardian that does everything you're after. As for something free, check Freshmeat or Google.

Later on,

Thanks but Source Guardian is not free. It costs 249,95 $. Don't you know other solutions ?
Bye

Can't you just make the script store the date the first time it's run.. then have it keep checking the current date against the stored one??? Wouldn't be easy to hack, but .well... it's a thought

If he wants to sell it, I don't think that he wants something that even I could hack in 2 minutes...

Same lc, not a good idea... One thought: can't you just limit the feature included in the demo?

Hmm...you have 5 posts and all 5 are exactly the same. Just a cross post of this, please try to remember that these forums are a means of discussing PHP related issues NOT a form of free advertising for your product everytime someone asks a question even remotely related to it. It is obvious from the name you are using as well that this was the entire purpose of signing up for these forums and you should be very very happy that I am not an administrator or moderator on them as I would have removed either your account or your posts by now and I would probably start charging you for future posts, if you want to advertise here I suggest talking to the boss man and buying space in the form of a banner ad or button. Just my $0.02!

Yeah I've noticed a few 'members' who seem to like to plug a certain product on every post they add to the forum..

I think the admins should start slapping a few wrists.
