[Closed] MAC Address compare Help

Is there an alternative to the mac address !? that will work for max 9-2013.
(i also have issues with clients that constantly change their mac address… mainly laptop users)

since i wanted to learn php i made a licenses management system in php/mysql (scriptsms)… also it has an update system for the scripts…

here’s how scriptsms work:

• you can add scripts to it… or remove… when you add a script to scriptsms you can define the:

  • name
  • custom title (for paypal)
  • the price
  • currency (usd, euro, gbp…)
  • start licenses (how many licenses you get when you first buy the script (in case of promo stuff))
  • email download (after you buy the script if you what to include the download link inside the email)

• after you add the script to the database you can upload the script…

  • build number (used to check for updates)
  • download link (if you add and url it will use that path if not you can upload a file)

• for every script it generates a paypal link so you can add to your website… or email the link so people can buy the script… e.g. http://remusjuncu.com/scriptsms/buy.php?script=rappatools3

• after you buy it from paypal scriptms processes the payment and if everything checks out it will send you an email with your account information and the download link…

• after you install the script you have the activation panel where you can see the pcid…
  with the account you can either sign in at http://remusjuncu.com/scriptsms/ and add the pcid manually and get the serial number (also after you add the pcid and open the script again it will automatically register if you have internet) or use the account inside the script and if you have available licenses it will atumatically register the script…

• if you do not register the script after 20 uses it will automatically expire… if you format the pc and have the same pcid the script will still be expired because that’s also stored online inside the scriptsms database… same goes if it’s registered it will restore the license automatically.

• you can also ban pcid’s

• if you buy a script again it will add another license.

• you can also check http://remusjuncu.com/rappatools/licenseguide.html

i will add soon the ability to customize the serial number generator for every script you have since currently it uses the same generator for all the script… and an alternative to the mac address… also free script mode so you can simply use the update system (actually i currently have implemented a simple version of free script mode but not tested yet)…

Maybe you can’t, but others do. Since it is encrypted Max Script we all know that it can be cracked but then again ADSK spends millions I’m sure on licensing and it is cracked the day, or the day before is ships. So the idea is to just have a system that keeps the honest ones honest. I have been using it my self for a couple years and it works great for what it is used for and that is trying to protect encrypted scripts. Hacking your encrypted script is the same process of hacking my licensing so why bother hacking the licensing when you can just remove the licensing from your tool?

Nice idea, I have considered something like that as well but because of how easy it is to hack an mse I have not bothered making it more complex then what I have. Would be easier to manage then what I have how ever.
