Prevention of unauthorized downloads

by Ed Micah

Hi folks,

As titled, are there any ways that I can prevent from any unauthorized downloads to my wordpress plugin?

So far, I think setting up a serial key system is one of the ways, but am not sure how that works...

Any suggestions?

    You got to find a software that will allow OLEs (Object Linking and Embedding). What software did you use to develop this WP plugin?

    You could make it so that to activate the plugin, it needs to call back to the server. Of course, the technically savvy people can easily 'null' it, so you can go one step further and encrypt the php code with base64 encoding. Still crackable, but at least it puts up barriers. The simple truth is that if someone really wants to download and crack it, they will and there's not much we can really do about it.

      I think a basic barrier will do, which that the plugin comes with a serial number in order to activate it when the purchase was made. And preferably encrypted by base64 coding like you've mentioned.

      The problem is that, how can this be done (integrated with warrior+)?

      Anyone?
