Hey,
I was looking on the web for any way to use a kind of licence key method on scripts I sell on my website to avoid people re-selling my scripts or even re-using them on many more sites etc...
Just a basic code like the user puchases my script and they generate a code from my site which they have to enter in there code in order for it to work, also so that it only works on there website and no other. I have used a website like this before when I bought a few codes and this method was used.
Thanks,
Tom.

You need to encode your script.
Look at here:

You can encode certain files/scripts. So you can keep whole code non-encoded and then encode the licensing related parts of it.

I don't resell codes I bought from websites but on the other hand it's a real pain to get those encoded snippet of codes sold around.
They never work quiet right with modified systems and we then can't modify the code to get it working.
Just make sure to make it clear on your web shop that the code is encoded. It saves time for both party for issuing/getting a refund.
