      In my experience, if the licensing system used by the plugin is not obfuscated, it will definitely be cracked, regardless of whether the encryption is 2048. Because the hackers can see the source code very clearly, I guarantee it :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

      Yeah thats possibly another thing we need to think about - how do we obfuscate the HSIE script source code...

        @Lindon you can't without encrypting it because anyone can just look at the code and make a deobfuscator. Security through obscurity is a last resort.

        I take the approach that anything on the client side is already compromised so all my 'security' stuff is server side.

            @Lindon They only need a connection to download the instrument, once they have the files they can use them offline, on any machine - remember all my stuff is open source so I don't have the same piracy paranoia as everyone else 😃

              I just released a plugin that currently supports online activation only. 35K active activations so far. 7 complaints.
              I do plan on offering offline activation soon, but this doesn't appear to be huge issue like or was years ago.

                    @orange ahh I didn’t think of that possibility, is obfuscation the only way to avoid this or what are some other methods you’ve used to avoid this?

                    And btw, your licensing system is amazing, we’re definitely planning on making something like it in the future:

                    What is the licensing app built on?

                          Thanks.

                          Frankly, there is not much about obfuscation for now.

                          I think cracking the plugin depends on user demand. If it is a well-known company and it is a plugin that is really demanded by the users, the cracking of the plugins will take at most 1 week, sometimes 2 weeks.
