Customizing the Examples

These examples are starting points. You should customize them for your specific needs:

1. Error handling - Add proper error handling and user-friendly messages
2. Storage - Choose the appropriate storage method for license data (file, database, options table)
3. Caching - Cache verification results to reduce API calls (recommended: 6-24 hours)
4. Security - Store API keys securely (environment variables, encrypted config)
5. UI - Build license activation forms that match your application's design
