I'm developing some (wordpress) plugins and I'm planning to have a license fee for whoever want's to use it.Therefor I need a way to make sure that this plugin is not uploaded to a server where anyone can download it and use it for free.So I was thinking of using an API key. Valid API key = user can use the plugin. Invalid = plugin does not work.I've looked at this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1448455/php-api-key-generator but I don't get much wiser of that.I also know that since it's PHP, anyone can go into the code and disable API check (I'm just guessing)What is the best way to secure my plugin? API key? Other ways? Does anyone have link to any good tutorials on the subject?
How can I secure my plugin so only paying users can use it?
