How Does The Bouncy Xbox Live Licensing Work?

The licensing works in 1 of 2 ways.

Remote Sockets: This method contacts our licensing server with your License Key, Website IP Address, Install Path & Hostname each time the Bouncy Xbox Live system is viewed. If for some reason the licensing server cannot be reached, your Local Key.php file is checked to validate your license.

Local Key: This method skips all remot calls to the licensing server to speed up load times, most of the time this wont be noticable except for when the licensing server becomes busy, or if you are having network difficultys on your website. The local key method uses just the Local Key.php file to validate your license. This is the prefered method, but, you will need to re-download and replace your key.php every 30 days.

Local keys have to be replaced every 30 days to validate that your license is still active, even if you use the Remote sockets method, its best you keep your local key up to date incase of a problem with contacting the licensing server.

Please remember to use Remote Sockets the first time you access th Bouncy Xbox Live system on your site, this needs to be done to lock your install information to your license key. After this, you can proceed to download your key file from your licensing area, and switch to the Local Key method.

Local Keys should be uploaded to /BouncyServersKeys/BouncyXboxLive/key.php from within your forums root directory.
