Hello,
Encryption is a must in this business.
The first dating script from Datetopia was Dating Agent (early
version). It was delivered with 100% source code for $99/license.
Many licenses sold fine but the sales almost terminated in few
weeks. I found the reason on ebay. I found illegal resellers selling
it for $5 on ebay :) .
Now we provide Dating Agent III (v3.6) with source code for only $69.
All the other scripts are delivered encoded using a custom made
system that encodes php code leaving the html parts unchanged.
As you noticed, encryption causes problems with customization. We
tried to solve this problem with our latest product (
http://www.matchagency.biz ). It allows full editable profile
attributes, categories, multiple languages directly from the
webmaster area.
Also the layout templates, configuration files, payment integration
parts for all our scripts are provided with source code.
Regards,
NTM
