Is it possible to protect a plugin?

I would like to restrict the plugin to a server with the ip and port. else = server shooting down.
Sry my english.

Many Thanks!

Wait. What do you want? Just like write up what you want in the most basic form with examples

So like

You want 1 plugin that runs certain things only and then anything else the server will run the exit command?

Nono.

I want to add to my ".sp" a code to restrict the use of the plugin.

For example, I want my plugin can be used only in the ip 200.1.1.1:27017.
If another server uses this plugin, the server crashing...

First: Wrong forum.
Second: It's open source. How do you expect anyone to not patch it out in 5 seconds? Pinky swear?

Oh extremely easy lol sorry I misunderstood just use and if statement to check if the public ip has changed and the else statement as ServerCommand("exit") but it's extremely easy to bypass also, how the hell would anyone get your SP or are you worried about .smx's?

I'm pretty noob, as would that be?

Sourcemods licensing is open source which means, if you give anybody the SMX (plugin file) file in the first place, you must also give them the SP (source code) file. If you add protection then the person can just remove that protection and recompile it so it works anywhere.

If you're giving out the SMX (plugin file) to people without the SP (source code) file paid or not, you're violating Sourcemods licensing which means, we will not be giving you help here.

Either way, seems arbitrary.

Oh I see what you are saying but I think he's thinking if someone like idk hacked his FTP or idk got the smx it would crash their server.
Is it allowed if I code the addition for him?
