I love ♥️ building software that solves real-world problems, add value to society through technology.
I want to distribute my paid application to my clients. It contains a licensing system. I don't want my clients to remove or modify that licensing system. Hence i need to obfuscate the code.
You could make it ping a server of yours, and if it doesn't ping after some amount of time you ask them about it. If you are "physically" giving them the code there's no way to guarantee they won't do anything to it, obfuscated or not. So you could add ways to track customers and then add repercussions in the sale agreement for removing it.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I don't know of any, but I'm curious. Since PHP code is run on the server, what benefit is gained from obfuscating it?
