Ask HN: License Manager in Ruby/RoR

2 pointsby jacktangover 15 years ago
Hi Rubists,<p>I am going to ship one RoR application, and come up the question: how can protect the application? In Java there are some license managers, so how about Ruby? or what's your solution?<p>Regards /Jack

you'd need a code obfuscator that can turn it into an executable, otherwise the source code could just be modified to disable the licensing checks.<p><a href="http://www.rubyencoder.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rubyencoder.com/</a> is one such product, but i've never used it.
