general PHP question..cd key authorization..
Anyone ever tried to implement CD key authorization in a PHP proeject? I'm strongly considering it..it seems feasible..feed back please! 
Re: general PHP question..cd key authorization..
Not sure what you mean, exactly. Using a CD key to authorize the use of a php package? Using a php site to track key usage?Charles256 wrote:Anyone ever tried to implement CD key authorization in a PHP proeject? I'm strongly considering it..it seems feasible..feed back please!
Elaborate, please.

Fair enough. My apologies on being vague. It happens when you forget that people are not mind readers.
I was thinking of adding a list of CD keys to my webserver. Then when people go to install the software it asks for a CD key and once they do i ts ends a request to my server asking permission to allow the install, if it's a valid key they can install, if not they get an error message. That better?

You need to elaborate more about what this key is exactly for. What is it going to be for? Are you going to put a key that will allow the application to run on a certain domain? Please tell what exactly you need to do.
I don't think that's what you need, but since I'm not sure what you need I'll post it anyway: http://www.sourceguardian.com/

Man, I'm feeling like a dumb noob that can't get two things straight today.
: hides his master status in shame : Either way, i got a gentleman that is considering purchasing some software for four hotels. Not five,not six, just four. I only want four unique locations to use the software, else I'd want more money. So, what I want to do is some method of authenticating them before they install the software. My original solution was to make it so they had to enter a CD key before the install would begin and then that CD key could not be used again. My idea was to do this by having it send off to my server for authentication. If it failed and they had a valid key, they could e-mail me or call me and giving proper proof of purchase and what not I'd give them a cd key that always works. Only problem with this is, what if it dawns on them to use that CD-key everytime? Hum..I have just made thigns more comlpicated...Hopefully, I am better understood though.
