Hi, I am developing a couple of small packages for my customers. I want to be able to license these packages but I cant wrap my head around how to do this the best way. My simplest idea of a license is a "per domain" license.

Here is a couple of different scenarios:

1. Simple starter kit / theme
2. Module with server sode code like payments or something

The latter one, the one with server side code/functionality seems pretty straight forward using a license file of some sorts. But that would work because my functionality is buried within my assemblies and I can then check a license file for this.

The first one is more of a headache. I have some basic templates / websites that I sell to customers. These are complete websites / themes and I would like them to install that package and have that limited to a specific domain (www.mydomain.com).

But since this is mainly markup and no dependencies on server side code I can't wrap my head around how to solve this. One of the solutions I see is to make an assembly and drop it in the bin folder to check for a license file. But then you just remove that assembly and there is no license check anymore.

Anyone? How could I protect my package with a license file? How are you doing this?
