Ask HN: Site license problem

Posted by nudge on Saturday July 24, 2010 @10:24AM
from the ask-hn dept.

A quick question about license key management for a webapp that's usable by groups (schools) as well as individuals.

A school would buy a license for X students. I'd rather just give them one license that all X can use, rather than make them hand out X licenses.

How, then, can I make sure the license cannot simply be shared online with students not at that school?

Thanks for your help.

A simple solution: Require individual activation through a student's .edu email address and only allow the school's license to work with their own school.edu emails.
