Can somebody give me at least an example of code wich read a license from a database?If the plugin can't connect to database or license isn't good the plugin will not start...maybe will show only a message.

Such protection is pointless as the end user can just remove such code from the SMA file.

You cannot distribite the AMXX file without the SMA file

Not only is it illegal to distribute the AMXX without also providing the SMA, but it is also relatively easy to decompile the AMXX back into an SMA, which can then be edited to remove any DRM.

If you have enough knowledges convert your plugin to a metamod module and you;re done you can then safely implement any 'licensing' method like sql/http/sockets

Metamod still has the same requirements as AMXX, the source code must be provided for it if you distribute it.

Only if i will distribute it but now i'm talking only for my personal use, some hosting providers can steal your plugin or bypassing protections using a decompiler but with a metamod module sayonara

I don't want to distribite anything, I just want to make sure that my plugin can't be stoled.I am not trying to sell anything, I just want to protect "my work".I think that this is legal...I mean, nobody can force me to give the source of a plugin made by me...
All I know about this is that I need to use sockets module...but I don't know the natives, also...I don't know how to read something from a database.That's why I'm here, to find some answers to my questions.
