License files to discuss

[stody]

Hi all,

i think often its a problem with the license files. What to pull in, should there a recommended price and so on. I have prepared 3 licensefiles for my own use, so let us use these files for a discussion or better to come up together with a recommendation on proper license files.
Please excuse me for errors, this is not my mother tongue... 

The files are in Word97 format so everyone should able to use them. I made 3 files for PLR, MRR and Personal use only (PUO). I changed them for the different projects and delivered them as a pdf.

To your success,

Stody

There are few key points that I think good to follow when making a licensing scheme to a developed program. thought of sharing those with you .. 

Seriously consider rolling your own for having complete control over your algorithm. If you do, consider using components in your key along the lines of:

    License Name - the name of client (if any) you're licensing. Useful for managing company deployments - make them feel special to have a "personalised" name in the license information you supply them.
    Date of license expiry
    Number of users to run under the same license. This assumes you have a way of tracking running instances across a site, in a server-ish way
    Feature codes - to let you use the same licensing system across multiple features, and across multiple products. Of course if it's cracked for one products it's cracked for all.
