Ask HN: Site license problem1 points·by nudge·vor 16 Jahren·1 commentsA 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.1 commentsPost comment[–]hartard·vor 16 JahrenreplyA 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.

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