Hi George, I never heard of that. If I read correctly between your lines, your are looking for a method to protect your custom plugin from copying and unauthorized usage. Maybe you can implement some kind of encrypted input key, that can only be fed correctly by your host application? If this input isn't filled in correctly your plugin will refuse to work. To make it hard to hack, there should be a output from the plugin where the input value should relay on, so that on every start of your plugin the key is different. With this you would have to run your plugin for some render cycles before it can determine if its in the host app or not.
