Lincensing an app

Post by Mag » Mon Mar 18, 2013 7:04 pm

What could be, in your experience, a good way to implement licensing in an app made with LiveCode?

For REAL Studio and Objective-C I had a proprietary tool and recently I use AquaticPrime. Anybody uses CocoaFob or SoftwarePassport or other?

Tips welcome!

Hi Mag,

For customers, I made several licensing systems. In my experience, the best system still is one that includes the user's name or e-mail address and the date and generates a key from those values. It is also possible to connect to a database with keys, but this can cause problems with proxies and you'd need a backup system in case registering through a proxy doesn't work. There are many ways to implement a licensing system. Perhaps you should tell me your requirements first?

Best,

Mark
