This may be off topic for this list, and if so I apologize. I am trying to
think of a way that I can set up multiple user keys in a cf application. The
app would be hosted by the users ISP so access to the program templates
would be as protected as can be expected. When the user opens the
applications the login screen would ask for a username and password (default
to begin with ) and a registration key. After 30 days the app would require
the registration key to continue using it.
If the application were running on my own server I would just set up keys in
a database and flag the account when the product was paid for. In this
scenario the application runs on someone else's box.
A new user account is generated simply by going into Internet Service
Manager and creating a new website, as soon as the user follows the url to
the program's shared directory it will automatically set up the new user
account.
Here is what I have so far. A master key could be created at download time
for any ISP that wanted to upgrade all of their user accounts at once. The
cf app would leave my server accompanied by the appropriate key. What I
can't seem to think of is a way to allow a user to come to my site and buy
an individual key for his own account. The key for individual user would
need to be unique across all of the websites out there that are using the
program. The key would not have to cost that much and it could be renewed
each year.
Has anyone had to deal with a similar situation or have any idea's how I
could make this possible?
Thanks in advance for any help on this subject.
