How does RT work out what sites themes are installed on?
Posted 14 years 10 months ago
Just out of curiosity, how does RT know what themes ive used on what domains?
Im new and when i signed up i didnt select a domain im going to use the theme on, so how do they know?
does something in the code let them know?
Im just interested how you distrobute something and stop people re-using it?
Ive wanted to sell a product in a similar manor via a subscription but im afraid of people downloading it and using it 100's of times when only entitled to use it on one domain etc..
How do you link the user and the website?
Thanks

I guess the best answer is: they simply trust you .
Every protection can be removed. Doesnt matter how much effort you will put in registration methods - thiefs will break it up.
I always say 50% of the deal is the great support here in the forum that is only available to members. And thats how it is I guess: the team treats customers with respect and will be (hopefully) rewarded with honesty.

...not to mention the threat of unleaching millions of spider scripts the query the Internet looking for RT-related code and trace routing them to your server while simultaneously hunting down where you and your family live!
