Protect66 - The Licencing system for Ubot.
There is no doubt that if you want to write web automation bots that Ubot Studio is the best tool for the job. It uses an easy to learn visual drag and drop
scripting system and even novices can generate time saving, income generating bots in a short time-frame.
But what if you want to compile and sell the bots you've invented to other people?
Ubot has a built in compiler but at the present time has nothing built in to prevent your bot being freely passed around and shared. To make matters worse, bots are favoured by those who use 'underground' and 'blackhat' methods and those people usually frequent forums where sharing these types of program is encouraged.
The 100% FREE Solution...
I will point out at this point that there are free ways to protect your bot but most of these use a simple system of looking at a web page and checking for a piece of data - something easily bypassed with a simple and widely documented technique involving the hosts file or a copy of a free web server program.
Then there are slightly better systems like the login one that can be found at www.makeabot.net, but these don't prevent multiple installs, login sharing or any of the other very commonly used hacks.
Protect66 doesn't have the same shortcomings of the free systems and is priced low enough that it will easily pay for itself from the extra sales you make when people can't easily pass your bot about for free.
What Protect66 does...
Protect66 combines some server side PHP code (don't worry the installation is explained step-by-step so even if you have no PHP experience you will be able to install and use this, and if you're really nervous about it we can install and configure it for you.) with a MySQL database and a selection of easy to use Subs for your Ubot.
When someone purchases a licence for your bot you fill out a simple online form (password protected) and make a licence for them. If you take payment by Paypal or Clickbank this licence generation can be fully automated and we supply all the scripts necessary for that automation too.
The customer is given their licence details and runs the bot for the first time. On the list of 'scripts' to choose from, the last one on the list is called "Registration", and they are instructed to select and run that the first time they run the newly installed bot. The will be asked for their name, email address and receipt number. When the licence is activated the server database updates and stores a hardware key from the machine it was installed on.
Even if the user sends someone their licence file with a copy of the program it will not run on another computer unless it is registered to it (in which case it ceases to work on the original machine).
To allow for the possibility that someone may want to move it to another computer the system is configured to let them re-register it one time per month (you can change this frequency easily). We supply a simple cron job script that updates the database on a monthly (or whatever you choose) basis that resets the reinstallations allowed flag.
Need to revoke a licence? No problem. Just take the licence entry out of the database and that copy of your bot stops working. Simple.
Whenever the licence check is run from within your bot (this is calling a sub so you can do it once or a dozen times during the execution of a single script) a request is made to the database server to confirm the validity of the licence but it doesn't just return a static key to the bot, instead it uses an algorithm to throw back a confirmation key that will change every single time. This makes it VERY hard for people to crack using host file cheats and the like.
You can protect an unlimited number of bots with a single licence and up to 99 bots can share the same MySQL table.

OK, so the big question - how much does this cost?
The real question is how much will it cost you to keep leaving your bots unprotected?
Protect66 is just $147. A drop in the bucket compared to the extra sales you will make with a protected bot.
Your files will be emailed to you within 24 hours of purchase (within a few hours if during work hours).
All the supplied php code is unencrypted so you can easily customise this system.
You will require web hosting with PHP 5.x and MySQL database.
March 2011 Update: Protect66 is now being replaced with "Protect Silver" and uses the same engine as Protect Gold but does not have the time limited trials, auto updates or free license options.
August 2011 Update: No more sales will be made of Protect Silver. It will continue to be supported but logistically it is easier for me to only ship one protection system. If you need to purchase a protection system please order Protect Gold from here.
