Web-based licensing system - help - welldonesteak - Mar 14, 2019
Hey guys,
I've been looking for a web-based licensing system for a while. I have already a domain and now I want to create a database for the keys. I saw other companies doing it with a link like: testsite.com/api/validate. I would just put the link in my application and the applications checks then if the entered key is similar to the database one. What would you suggest?
Thanks,
J

you could always try our Licensing system is already been tested by many, no need to setup anything.
we have already implemented everything possible for a licensor needs, best practices too

It's really easy to come up with something strong and free :-)
You need a server and a database, you already have them. You need to access your server and create a php script that will communicate the data sent by the c# client to the mysql database.
You can go with both post and get request. Here is a small tutorial : http://www.smart-arab.com/2013/05/c-php-communication/

What i concluded from his post he wants to try to do something his own,not using any other commercial solution.And i agree with Aristocles that this can be achieved easily and for free,in this section we are here to help as much as we can.

PHP to MySQL is what the websites he refers to are using

well thats why i said he can try it for free , as i worked hard to make full licensing system, if he need to make a license system he will end up learning to do a proper API service and alot of protections to protect his service and the client side. time is money !

A fairly honest answer,i agree in that case.Respect!

You better code it in your own.
Licensing system is not that hard if you know how to code the keygen.
I have coded some simple ones on my own.
I will suggest some things here: Checking keys online else don't allow activation, checking ids if you want to lock the license in one machine (using the hard drive is not a solution better catch something like cpu id or motherboard sn or something similar that you are sure it will not get changed)
