Well if you give access to source anyone can bypass the check quite easily. In fact no license checking has stopped unwanted use of software (games included). The only way to not worry is if you have a self controlled API based service that your client code will be depending upon. Then you can check for the license validity in your trusted server and if it's expired or illegal you just block access so the client side is useless. I have used a couple of zen encrypted applications, it's not always that easy to set up in the server environment for all the PHP/zen versions available. The question is whether your application is "costing" more than the cost of encrypting/setting up. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
