Local or private ip

So if I want to ionCube my script on a unique installation, e.g. ionCube license on domain/ip, is there a way to make sure he cannot trick the license on several machine, setting up the same domain/ip on all of them since MAC is editable? Is there a way to license on a very unique machine?

I thought MAC was supposed to be unique. I know you can edit it on a VM (or you could in Hyper-V last time I looked) but surely if you put two NICs with the same MAC address they’ll get upset.

Anyway, outside of my knowledge now, I don’t know what an ionCube is or where you’d put it. If you manage to crack a 100% reliable but still usable copy protection scheme, feel free to let us know how you did it from your Caribbean private island.

Not sure I see the problem here, if it is licensed by domain, then surely the customer should be allowed to spin up more instances if the site receive a lot of traffic.

For MAC, while it can be edited putting two servers with the same MAC in the same network will create issues for the network traffic. It would still be able to do it from different locations though (i.e. hosts).
