gmoore Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 And this is not a BIG deal. But it gives out my personal email account on the license verification. NORMALLY this isn't a good thing in my opinion. I would rather something less pointing at the same place my wife and kids email me to lol. Stops spam.

john-doe Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Would you mind elaborate how this license verification works? I haven't used the engine myself but with a brief idea I might be able to add some suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoore Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) There is an option to prove *I* own the rights to use the NWE engine. It goes back to the host site and says "YEP VALID LICENSE" but it also says "LICENSED by [email protected]". Just a little annoyance, nothing more.

Someone Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 http://www.nw-engine.com/verify.php?l=XXXXXXXXXX&sip=::1 Replace X with the first 10 digits of your license. I too missed the part where it says that my email will be publicly available. I prob did not pay enough attention to notice it, and quite frankly I don't like it.

Djkanna Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It probably shouldn't show that, especially if there's no warning beforehand. However an email is just to easy to find elsewhere that personally I wouldn't fret about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoore Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well I have not posted it publically anywhere. I certainly have given it out though. I can also remove the link. I just want to bring it into the open for discussion etc. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkanna Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 That's fair enough, I was just giving my take on the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Beside the email is displayed as image and not as text (harder to harvest), I agree, it could lead to some privacy problems. Therefore I removed the display of the email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoore Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Maybe the persons name, or let us decide what we want to have there ... like a website name or something. But you already took it off. :cool: Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I suggest we get to set domain or ip addresses in our accounts. That will be shown as valid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have stored the IP on the server side, however ideally it should be linked to a domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I had actually not read the license agreement before now :o Generous of you to not limit to 1 domain/ip + off-line(non public) development and testing versions. What could happen is that anyone brought in to help on a game, could take the key, and use on their own site. Anyone doing such a thing would prob not have a "verify it" link on their site anyways. Perhaps we should see in our nw-engine account, where the license have been used. I know piracy cant be stopped, but at least they wont be running a valid license.

gmoore Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well Alain put this in for a reason. I just want him happy with it and my email not getting [email protected]. My wife shares my computer lol I hope you understand. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmoore Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 what is your goal? 1 per domain or 1 per 'me'? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Indeed I wasn't thinking of limiting the number of sites / domain YOU could use with one license. I would have left to the owner of the site to decide if to buy one license for all or one for each. Yet I don't want that somebody buy once license and redistribute it to 100 other people. So for me it would be 1 license per user, where the user is either an individual or a team working on a common project (however in that case the people of the team should not have the right to re-use the license for than that particular project). I don't know if my idea is somewhat clear. That was also the reason why I was showing the email / name of the person which bought it, and not an IP or a domain.

gmoore Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Oh you are fine with the license. My goal with even purchasing a licenses was to be part of the comunity. I already have over $100 in help, friiends and just cool people here. :p Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
