Hi there warriors

Im currently having software created in vb.net and now the time has come where im thinking about the licensing of the software.

I have a domain hosted on a reseller account and want to know your thoughts on suggested licensing with some sort of affliate program feature if possible.

The software will have 3 different levels of key

Trial (expire in 30 days)

Full version limited but limited features

Full version recurring monthly charge

your advice is greatly appreciated.

    Triel version is Demo version ,this means after awhile for example 30 days , no more working or may be working but features out of date. and full version is normal version .
    i don't know how you notice that now is time to renew the license, why.?
    i suggest if you are in doubt , contact them and ask about that.

    hi bjarvie ..

    I pondered the same for a while .. free / basic / advanced ..
    What I ended up doing was duplicating the item in clickbank twice and then taking the new item product id and creating my own guid (php code below) .. then saving both to my clients profile .. that way each client profile has a list of any additional products they have purchased .. you will find this sample code in clickbank as well.


    $key="[insertcbsecretkey]";
    $chid="[insertproductid]";

    $rcpt=$_GET["cbreceipt"];
    $time=$_GET["time"];
    $item=$_GET["item"];

    $cbpop=$_GET["cbpop"];
    $xxpop=sha1("$key|$rcpt|$time|$item");
    $xxpop=strtoupper(substr($xxpop,0,8));
    if ($cbpop==$xxpop) {
    [ code to create your own guid here ]
    }


    hope that helps

      Thanks for the tips rich = not having automatic Deactivation of license keys is a deal breaker for me.


      If you find the time Rich or anyone else id like you to check out a new thread of mine where i am building out the job scope to have the script made up to suit all our needs. It will be made available for free in the WAR Room.

      Here is the thread http://www.warriorforum.com/programm...ml#post6474669

      Please add any features you believe should be added - make sure you have read previous suggestions before making your submission. If you are tech savy please describe in detail so your suggestions can be easily integrated into the job scope.


      This is to be a tool for those who need to be able to have licensing done that are to work around recurring payments ie software, membership sites and once of sale ticket items.

      As stated earlier It will be made available for free in the WAR Room once completed.
