Hi Steve,
I can see how this would work when tying the plugin to a specific domain
but how would you approach locking the plugin to a single machine? Use
the MAC address?

Mike,
How you do it depends on the OS platform you're using. Generally
speaking, what I do is to get the domain name from the network stack
(or just using the Win32 API under Windows), and compare it to a const
string. Thus, if you're working within, say, Disney Animation, and
the compositing domain is comp.disney.com, for example, just error()
if the domain does not match this string.
Hope that helps.

If I recall correctly, this License API is no longer available
according to a thread I checked a while ago.

Is it possible to provide any more info on how a 3rd party can
implement licensing within a plugin? I want to have a look at the
very least locking the use of a plugin to a specific site, not really
interested in floating licences or anything particularly complicated.

Can't really make much sense of this. How does the system ID work.
'This is a 32-bit value that is unique for each customer site'. I
check '$this_system_id' here and get 0 as the result. I'm not even
sure how this is meant to work!
Cheers,
Steve
