Good afternoon,
Have not given this to much thought. But, I would imagine that a
simple Internet License Manager web-service wouldn't be to difficult
to code up in PHP or some other language.
1. User downloads the scripts and pays / registers.
2. User installs the scripts.
3. On first run the serial number is sent to the web-service
4. Some form of confirmation is returned.
5. You store that somewhere sneaky, or if you're really adventurous
you use the script to recompile itself with the authorization code
embedded, this would use the command line compiler.
HTH,
Everett
