License AddOn IPAddress

[Slightly Different]

I have a product setup in the license addon which is set up to "allow directory config" for specific reasons.

 

However, I have had a client reporting issues and it looks like because they are hosted on a load balanced system their server is operating from several different IP addresses in a single class C subnet.

 

I don't want to "Allow IP Conflict" as well as the "Allow directory config" as this is getting too lose. What would be ideal is if I can enter in the valid IP's something like 111.111.111.*, 111.111.111. or 111.111.111.0/24. Whatever format just so I can relax the license on a per license basis rather than as a product setting.

 

Is that possible?

 

It would be great if we can do similar with the directory as well as am I just writing a piece of software I want to license that will possibly install in several place in one site (directory structure) but on the same license. So to be able to allow /home/user/domain/public_html/* would be brilliant. I can then lock it to any folder within their current hosting.

You can enter a comma separated list of multiple IP's to allow for a license, same with the domains, but it doesn't currently support an abrieviated range format like that currently. However the directory field only supports one directory allowed per key.

Hi Matt

 

Thanks for that. Yep, I am using comma separated but have to keep adding as the server uses different addresses and therefore keeps throwing a license error. It would be great if you could add this with the next release please.

 

I reckon the most flexible would be to just add the * wild card approach to both IP and directory with a configuration in the product -> module settings to allow turning wild cards on and off on a per product basis defaulting to off for backward compatibility.

 

Would certainly be great from my point of view )

 

Cheers
