Hi It'is possible inhibit the uploades from a specific version? I would like a control on the subscription of my software: if customer did not done subscription for netx year, lost the right of the updates.. it'is possible to do it?? I prefere do it directly inside my code (by automaticaupdate) because the method using:
http://example.com/limit-updates/?update=%file%&pkey=%urlargs%
is not sufficiently safe for my system.
thanks domenico

Would you care to explain that?
Limiting updates on your server (based on some unique customer ID) is by far the best method to limit updates. You can also do it from within your app, but a sufficiently clever customer could work around that limitation.
if I use this method i have to put the license code (encrypted) inside the url: this is for me the unique way to control the right to downloads (inside the license code i have all the info on the state of that license!).
If i put the l.c. inside the url, all the people can copy the url and all can do the download.
In this way i could be later a check on the software to understand if that software version is compatible (by right) with that downloads; but how i could back on the right version for that license??

If you use a system like LimeLM, then the product key is something that uniquely IDs the customer, while the feature limiting details are stored separately when the customer activates.
If i put the l.c. inside the url, all the people can copy the url and all can do the download.
If you're using LimeLM you can limit who can use the updates.
