Has anyone wrote or used a 3rd party library to limit the number of user in an application?
Thank You in advance,

If you want an optimal safe solution then look at obfuscate software from zend, nusphere and others. Those application have all what you need on board. If you need more simple solutions then you can use open source solutions. Some are easy to decode, as eval is used, others are more sophisticated. Depends on your requirements.
I have decided to write my own because it seems none do all of what I want them to do. I Need to lock to IP or domain or both, generate License number, and restrict users as well. I want to accept payments for software that is on a monthly use basis and reactivate after payment is made. I need to stop theft of applications as well so I will have manual over-ride to turn off application. After this I will use an Obfuscate program like Ioncube or Source Guardian to further protect the application.
I will let you know how this comes out in the future.
Thank you for your reply.

Choose Source Guardian, it is the best at the moment…
