its not about disabling anything, its about having it there.
or just encode the license part of it. use ioncube
personally i dont sell software, so maybe i have a skewed view, but hte only way you can protect your source is by selling it as a servivce and hosting it yourself.

when i come across small softwares that are encoded, my initial reaction is always that its encoded so that people cannot see how poorly it is coded and all the security holes.
of course thats not true in most cases, but a lot of people get that feeling.

i prefer to be open about everything.
