Script Licensing

The Cereal licensing service is a tool for protecting your script against unauthorized use. Implementing the license verification library in your script isn't mandatory but strongly recommended. A determined attacker who’s willing to disassemble and reassemble code can eventually hack around the service; but script developers can make the hackers’ task immensely more difficult, to the point where it may simply not be worth their time.

Out of the box, the service protects against casual piracy; users who try to copy scripts directly from one Cereal installation to another without purchasing the script.
