Stolen licence code

Postby satch » Sun Oct 18, 2009 3:53 pm

I purchased the unlimited licence a while back and was wondering...what's to stop others from stealing the script from sites I have produced along with the licence key? How do you police this?

You are NOT liable if anyone steals your code off your webpage. But it you want to protect your key, the best way is to keep it in a file like described in the email containing the license key.

The email just showed an example of where to put it in the page source code - directly viewable to anyone that decides to copy it. Do you have a way you can check to see which sites use the same licence key? - If you set up a database for your unlimited licence customers to be able to log in and add the domains of the sites they have used the script on, any stolen licence codes would stick out.

I'm not quite sure how this works either... I keep my unlimited license in a .txt in the root directory just like the email said. What's to prevent anyone from doing http://saidsite.com/filename.txt and getting the license and using it on their domain?

Nothing, but we don't hold you responsible for that. If someone does that, they're the criminal, not you.
