I can deprioritize some task and skip the development of other parts of the project in order to get the AC done first. Since AC will be done from scratch, working on Metamod source (redistribution without source), every entrepreneur would look for the possibility of cashing it right? The only reason why I was looking for a pre-done AC solution, was to save some time. I hoped for a heavy modified version of SMAC but I end up with COW+SMAC copypaste. I lost some money and because of that. I decided to work on my own anti-cheat solution. I'm only asking for some feedback and thoughts about this project. If somebody will be interested in this project? Would you purchase a license for your server? If the only billing option is by paying per month, what price should be set per server/multiple servers? First of all, it's just a price draft, nobody said that it will be the final price when the project will be done. Most of you said that this is way too much, I understand it. As I said, right now I'm more likely looking at option b) I saw that you have BH, Surf, KZ, JB servers. May I know why you want to secure those servers? I thought that the main target for cheaters (90%) are casual servers, 1vs1, dm, retakes etc.. This anti-cheat will be not efficient against "true" legit cheating players. From my point, protecting a BH, Suft, KZ and Jailbreak servers is just a waste of money. "True" means low fov, high smooth and random bone picker for the AB. Unfortunately, a one time payment isn't possible. You don't have to protect all of your servers (e.g. jailbreak, KZ etc..), you can secure only those who really need the additional security. I re-do the pricing draft, let me know what do you think. The prices should be more affordable now. Probably the most popular choice would be "2-4 servers" which cost $15 USD per month and $12.75 USD per mo if billed quarterly. Regards, BlodyT.

I protect my "fun" servers already for movement based cheats etc. That's not a problem. However, I'm about to start my own league as well as my "skill" servers will also need protecting. Probably still looking at around 17 servers to protect.

Option "b" is probably the only one that is going to work here and you've got to realise that you're going to have to prove to us that you can do what you can say you do as I don't think anyone is going to have faith in putting something without source code on their server if you're not reputable.
