Hi Steve,
Can I ask you a further question regarding this? I quickly implemented
something that checked the domain like you mention (using
getdomainname()) and it all works well but I was wondering where you
implement this within the plugin structure? Of course don't go into any
details that you feel jeopardises any security. I wrote a simple
function to check an external licence file to compare the domain and
called this from within validate() which itself gets called quite often
it seems. I was wondering if there was a better place to check,
somewhere that only gets called on node creation and then not again
throughout the session?
Secondly, when I checked this out on my home machine, I couldn't return
a domain name as it isn't part of a domain. I don't suppose you have a
method for single machines? I could use the hostname should a domain
name not be available, although in the 'real world' the vast majority
will be part of a domain I guess.
Cheers,
Steve

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.
Steve

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
