Search the forum, this question has been asked a 1000 times.

P.S. The best way is not to give anyone access to your plugins.

Exactly. That is why it is pointless to try to do any "licensing" of plugins.

No, I said the exact opposite. I edited how I quoted you to make that more clear.

Even worse, people then can easily get private info you use to access the database, etc, because you have to hardcode it into your plugin.
There's really no 100% safe way to protect a plugin. Whatever you do, one can edit AMXX code to ignore set_fail_state(), server_cmd("quit") (and other) calls from your plugin, which I've done before for someone on this forums (can't remember who though).
All you can do is make sure you give the plugin only to trustworthy people.
