While aMember looks like a great way to secure web content, we'd like to leverage it for software licensing. Ie: every time our app opens it trys to hit a URL to verify that it's properly licensed. (of course, if it can't connect it will still work for some pre-determined time to cover possible network issues). Has anyone done this type of integration? If so, anyone point me to software that does use aMember? Also open to getting some assistance from someone who is knowledgeable in this type of setup.
I have done something similar, essentially pass the credentials as part of an http get of a specific protected URL. If you get an error code 401 (access denied) they are not licensed, if you get an error code 200 all is good.
We're using three methods... - downloading an essential file on start from a protected area requires them to be logged in with amember - encrypting that file via RSA public private and storing in memory - application requires successful userid (amember username) and reg key (paypal ipn receipt_id) to be entered on first use We're passing the ipn data to the reg db on another server via amember's paypal plugin ipn passthrough.
