How ad key unlocker program to code?

[storzo]

Hi!

I need to secure my program with key. I don't have idea how to do that with what modules or lib. But i know how could be work:

1st steep: user extract/install my program
2nd steep: after run program he ask for key
3rd steep: program send this information to my server with hole list in there and compare.
If is ok check if are in use now (if use will block both - illeagal copy key - and delete from list).
4rd steep: program run / server got info that key is online use


Summary:
-need 24/7 program on server for menagment connection and give permission to run base program.
-he got all keys

-in base program need give connection to server and send key after reciving permision run or stop.

Ps. i dont expect that someone wrote for me that, but i need assist. Ty for your help!

you can use password protection, see: https://docs.python.org/3/library/secrets.html

Be aware that this kind of protection only works with customers who don´t know
absolutely nothing about programming and how to circumvent such protection.
Any 10 year old kiddy with 1 year pc knowledge would lough about it.

So you got any suggestion how protect in good Way?

This https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denuvo was introduced as the best protection ever and as being unhackable.
It took longer but after a few months first games were cracked, look https://crackwatch.com/drm/denuvo/games

Depending what your program computes, maybe you can run a server which runs some calculation functions of the code
and without these functions the program doesn´t work.
But this would mean if customer has no internet connection due to whatever reasons, program won´t work.
Would your customer accept that?

Just put it under a license which is suitable for you.
There is no protection which can't be broken.

What ThomasL is referring to is called software as a service (SaaS). If you're concerned about your code leaking, SaaS is the solution, to the extent that your service would have to be hacked for the code to leak, and hacking a decently secure service is much harder than hacking code you have locally.
