Q: Why ionCube/Zend and Licenses?
A: To protect my long hard work put into the product quite simply :)

Q: What exactly does garage_loader.php do?
A: The process of validating your License Number involves contacting the License Server, my server. It makes a simple HTTP call and passes your server's domain name, your server's ip, and your License Number to the License Server. This information is used to validate your License Number and that's all.

Q: What if the License Server is unreachable for any reason?
A: Fear not, your installation will continue to function.

Q: What if I need to move my site to another IP or Domain?
A: See this tutorial on how to re-issue your license by yourself.

Q: I am getting an 'Invalid License' message, what does that mean and how do I get rid of it?
A: The very first time you enter your license number your domain, and your server's IP address are recorded and bound to your license number. If you try to use your license on another domain or another IP address you will receive this error. See this tutorial on how to re-issue your license by yourself.
