Well, I ordered the licensing addon by WHMCS and I am happy to say that I am very pleased by this addon. I have tried phpaudit in the past and i've tried SPBAS's demo. SPBAS is alot harder to use and is sometimes confusing. I am very happy with the addon and I recommend it to everyone who would like to license their PHP applications.

 

Thanks WHMCS!

I have it too and I use Ioncube to encrypt my files.

 

Im using ionCube's online encoder. You pay $5.00 and you can encode 50 files.

 

Not to hijack this thread:

I'm using the Licensing Addon as well and I'mI on the verge of releasing my php products, but I don't quite understand the encryption part. I plan on using the online encoder for ioncube as well, but I mean. Do I just need to encode the files with it, or do I need to write a script for ioncube to be able to decrypt, or what?

 

I read their documentation, but it's still alittle fuzzy for me. Do you just upload to the online encoder, let it encrypt, download the encrypted files and distribute to your clients... is it really that simple or is there pre and post work involved for the specific php files you plan on encrypting.

 

Maybe to stay in line with the subject of the Licensing Addon, anyone care to share their procedure, planning, or experience on how they went about implemented the code into their script and then encrypting it with ioncube?

 

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Yep it really should be that simple. You don't need to do anything special in the file you plan to encrypt either before or after, just add the licensing addon check code provided and then encode it with Ioncube or any other source code encryption software so that the end user can't just remove it from the file. Users can then obtain the runtime loaders from http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php should they need them but most servers have Ioncube support compiled with them these days.

I'd like a demo... Can't see any reason not to offer some kind of demo, even if its just to have a look at the back end, and all you really need is an example licensed script, and the whmcs install with the addon, so you can see how it works... and like the WHMCS one it can be reset every couple of hours... So why not?

I would love to see some version controlling :/

 

I have made something called Current Version... as an addon to WHMCS.

 

Basically, your PHP Project calls to its API with the version it's running and it then returns the following variables in an array:

 

 

  • result - success or error
  • message - contains the error
  • upgrade - true or false, depending upon if there is a new version
  • dllocation - where to download this update
  • version - the latest version

I recently released my new CMS, which I needed to have incremental updates, so I changed Current Version to only display a version which is able to be updated to, depending on the users version.

 

For example:

I'm running V6.0 and the latest is 6.4

I can't jump straight to 6.4 as there are database updates for 6.1, 6.2 & 6.3

(i find it easier to update my software this way, it saves updating every update file, every time)

So, the Current Version API Sends back the latest version as 6.1...

I upgrade and then it says I can upgrade to 6.2 and this keeps going until I'm at the latest version...

 

Make sense? I could tie it in with the WHMCS Licensing module, as I use this myself & this would be useful!

 

Discuss?

 

Best Regards,

 

Josh
