The licensing addon sample code doesn't work correctly even though it appears to be working. The section where it checks the local license for IP, domain and path fails if any of the fields like IP address, domain or path are not used, forcing a new load of the license from the server. In my case I only validate the IP address. Things appeared to work but I was checking to see that the local license was being used correctly and saw that it was always invalid. I corrected my code, but suspect that there are many people hitting their servers way too often. On another note, there are a couple of features that I'd like to see in the licensing addon 1) one or more license fields that I can set with the license manager that will allow me to send special configuration or other instructions to the licensed software when I want. This would allow me to do things such as tell the license software it needs an update, instruct it to "call home", or basically whatever I want. 2) add a last requested time in addition to the date. I actually wanted to expire mine within minutes or hours and not days, and discovered there was no way to do that. Thanks

On my system I have an SSL url so that on the front end client's can check out securely, but I have the admin SSL disabled because I use a different SSL domain and that won't work with the license (that was another issue that was time consuming to figure out). When admin emails are sent, links to admin are all to the secure URL on the admin, even though it's disabled. These links of course don't work because they have invalid license. I'm having to go and edit every template to fix the problem. These are two of the email template vars that are incorrect: WHMCS Admin URL {$whmcs_admin_url} WHMCS Admin Link {$whmcs_admin_link}
