Check Url For Paid Licence

[maipiusenza]

Hi all,

I'm trying to develop my first paid module and I would like to know how I can check if the user has a valid licence active.

 

My module will call a php page on my server to retrieve some data, so I can check the http_referer to see if the shop bought the licence or not. But is there a db or an xml list I can call from prestashop addons to get that data?

Or is there a different way to check for it? Or is the core code to automatic check it?

 

Thanks!

Are you sure it is necessary?

Without it, how can I protect my module from being used without paying the licence?

I do not think that PrestaShop allows third party calls from the module. 

 

Nobody can protect it. You just need to trust people.

Third part call must be done anyway... It needs to retrieve some extra shipping information from a database, can't insert that data in the module as they change...

Can you be sure that your solution will be 100% functional in all PrestaShop versions and won't create problems for your customers?

I just have to call an external php page pasing a couple of variables and get back some variable, this should be not a problem on different versions.
