My two cents...

I think you should close your doors or redo the thinking here. Now hear me out, I bought the XD-DarkSyde theme and had nothing but problems with it. It had some back end code that would check the key given with the Xtrato site to see if I was legit to use it and if it wasn't it would lock everyone out. We tried everything under the sun to get theme to work but nothing.. So we paid more money to Xtrato to install it so that he would fix any problems found. Two weeks later I had to move host. I reinstalled it again, just knowing I would need to pay Xtrato again, but it worked just fine. But then we noticed the gfx_check code would not show the image so new users could not make accounts. I came here to ask for help. It took a few weeks and I had to threaten to recode the theme before I had help. Xtrato's team did fix the problem but this theme has wasted a lot of my time by now.

Almost one month later the site locked everyone out because the key code failed again. It was redirecting everyone that came to my site to some web site that wanted people to enter their email address.. I don't know to what end.

I had to remove the theme and I got one somewhere else.

I know you tried Xtrato but I don’t think it was hard enough.

I'm not a PHP noob and I code a lot of one off sites so installing a PHPnuke theme is a no-brainer even with your key code stuff. You put so much into protecting your work that you forgot that not everyone is going to steal it and that the problems created by the faulty key code and poor tech support is leading people away.

Best of luck.
