   Definitely, monkeynotes had a similar suggestion so with your comment on top of that, this is definitely on my to do list.

   Yes you can definitely do that. The /validate endpoint accepts the parameters application (for the application uuid) and the key (for licence key). You can program your way around that, but the one line solution then does not hold up.

   Thanks you for the interesting feedback. Pricing is something I find to be the most difficult part of offering a service. It surprised me that no-one else had mentioned anything about pricing so far, so I started to think that I found the &

   Oh wow I had no idea. I simply bought the template from Themeforest, thinking everything would be in order. Anyway, the font has been changed, well spotted!

   The problem of my clients actually copying my software: no. The problem of being worried about it: yes On a serious note, it has happened to me a handful of times in many years. Not often, but enough times to want to be notified when it ha

   You could indeed do that. I really like eat_veggies' suggestion, something I'll consider.

    Next to every key there is a button with a question mark "how to use", which presents a pop-up with a copy/pasteable snippet.

    "Do it all silently and then let the IP owner decide what to do about it" sounds like a great idea and could be an application-specific setting. Added to my to-do list, thanks.

    Ouch. According to facebook debugger, this link has not yet been shared before, a good thing in this case. Fixed it, thanks.

    Exactly. By detecting and letting you know what happened, you'll be able to take action. You know who you built the application for and will most likely still have their phone number which you can use to ask them what's going on.

    Thanks, fixed the typo. I'll include a section in the privacy policy on what's sent in the request, which is just the application UUID and the licence key. Our service then uses the origin of the request to determine the domain.

    Yes, it does. Qeys is not designed to deny user access to protected sections of an application, though. The ideal use case is a web app (e.g. awesome dashboard) you built and is ran on premise on one of your clients' servers. Their day

    You're totally right. However, in the few cases that my software was copied, the pirates were far from skilled enough to dig into compiled JS and find out what was happening. At least, they would start with a simple copy-paste and try

    Hi Ruphin, Frits from Qeys here. I highly appreciate your comment and I totally agree with what you're saying. Not being able to reach our servers should not break your app. The small piece of code is designed to only invalidate and de

    This reminds me of a project back in 2014, where a school-mate and I created an "uncopyable" font using the same idea. I put the site back online at http://nopy.progresso-ict.nl/ ($10 PayPal money has already been

    Integration with bookkeeping software is definitely on my list of to-do's, but the details of that have yet to be determined. In the mean time, the excel/csv export can be used to import processed invoices in bulk.

    Email is indeed the way to go for the moment. You can however attach multiple files at once, so composing an email with your PDF collection does the trick.

    Missing fields can be added, so PO number I have written down. It's less common data here in the Netherlands, so thanks for mentioning it!
