How to check/validate Serial No of a VST online
-
I am totally new in this topic but curious to learn it from scratch.
For example a VST named ChordPotion
uses online serial validation whenever it launches in DAW.
I can make easy Serial/Authorization system but it is not so secured. I want to validate((Online)) serial every time whenever users will launch the VST in DAW . I will issue users Serials for specific products based on his/her MAC address and email address. I have used this types of features in other VSTs through my Music Production journey. Now I am eager to make it in HISE. -
@Tania-Ghosh you can do it normally with the API which communicates with a server. woocomerce can handle this. however it is quite complicated for a beginner without concrete example. I tried I did not succeed

I would highly recommend to not require the user to have a internet connection everytime he wants to load the plugin. Imagine trying to load your plugin on a live gig where you dont have internet and then realising it doesn‘t work.
You can validate in online once and then store the result in an encrypted file that is loaded the next time.

@Christoph-Hart unless you are running some sort of subscription based service - where you'll need to check the plug-in/subscription on start up every time....but I guess you'd know that if you were a subscription based user and thus would make sure you had an internety thingy at the gig...

Even then you could store the license and allow the usage within a grace period (~14 days) until the next time internet is available.

@yall Is it possible without woocommerce WP plugins?
What about Easy Digital Downloads?

That means if my website is hacked everything will be hacked too !!
Oh my God... Team R2R and AudioUtopia why don't you guys develop VSTs instead Piracy :face_with_tears_of_joy: :grinning_squinting_face:

@Tania-Ghosh It will work with any website, but you have to provide/write the server side code.
