Simple copy protection done right :)

After inserting the correct serial and successfully registering a plugin and then hit compile, I am getting an error on this line.
The one in the code window.

if(pData)
{
local v = pData.Serial;
Console.print("Restored serial: " + v);

if(serials.Data.contains(v))

{
setValidLicense(true);
return;
}

@lalalandsynth - whats the error?

[lalalandsynth]

oops , sorry , the error is Interface:! Line 365, column 37: Unknown function 'contains

which is this line

if(serials.Data.contains(v))

[Lindon]

@lalalandsynth so debug... replace

if(serials.Data.contains(v))

with

Console.print(serials.Data);

I followed the directions exactly (I think) but i keep getting this message when I compile..

Serials.js (2): Found ':' when expecting ';' {SW50ZXJmYWNlfFNlcmlhbHMuanN8MTF8Mnw5}

anyone know why?

[ustk]

@BWSounds Yep I know! because ':' has been found when ';' was expected on line 2 in Serial.js… This one was hard

[BWSounds]

@ustk ohh duh, the js file... man I feel slow

[ustk]

@BWSounds In fact there seems to be something weird, because ':' is at the right place, wich means a ';' might be missing somewhere else before serials is called…

Ok, new problem (which prob. is a simple fix) but iv'e been compiling ALL DAY and my codes work in hise but once i compile none are working in the vsti.

I seen someone have the same issue but the response was deleted, so im guessing the fix is easy... I just cant figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i updated to the latest commit, still having the same issue, so it’s not that.

1 add the auth. Script to your oninit
2 add generator script to create serial.js
3 remove generator script
4 copy new script from root folder, add to script sub folder
5 add the const var text at the beginning, “;” at the end
6 oh and add the components from the auth. Script
7 and add “include serial.js” to your oninit

Should work right?? What am I missing because it’s not working for me on my compiled vsti

[BWSounds]

Does anyone have the copy protection working on a compiled vsti?

[ulrik]

@BWSounds Yes, it's working on my compiled au, vst3 and vst plugins for mac
(I have only tried then on the Mac platform)
I use the "Global mute" version, you can use them for 20 min then it gets silent.

@ulrik thanks for responding. I’ll try on Mac to see if works then. It’s not working for pc or at least Not for me.

its working fine on windows here..

Sorry to bring this post back up but... I finally got the simple copy protection to work. (Was pretty simple)

But I updated to the latest commit (needed to) and it’s not working for me. I did the same thing I did to get it to work on the earlier commit (February) but it’s a no go.

Any one updated to any commit in august and this still works for them?

[ulrik]

@BWSounds I'm using the script node from 19/8 and it's working here on mac

[BWSounds]

@ulrik wow... ok

Hey guys,
do you have any tips or tricks on how to automatically populate the Serials.js file with a large number of serials? Since they have to be in a particular format between " " and with , at the end of each line, this will be quite a tedious work to do manually by copy+paste.
What's your solution?
