License validation with UXP/Extension/Script?

[jkmgz]

I'd like to be able to recall to a webpage of my development to verify a purchase that would've been made on my site. 

E.g. 

Purchase on website > install plugin/extension/script > met with dialog for license validation > input license validation > give access to plugin/extension/script

Otherwise have the plugin code inaccessible or just have the code locked or uninstalled or something of the like. While developing, I would like to be able to minimize/eliminate the "copy to a friend" scenario. 

Thank you in advance.

I ended up successfully piecing together scattered documentation for what I was looking to do regarding this topic. Anybody else wanting this can use what I've brought together. This is intended be used in photoshop .js (javascript) standalone scripts. File > Scripts > Browse...

While developing a script, I would variable hash and compound the script itself so it is less likely to be tampered with. 

// START WEB GET CALL

reply = "";
conn = new Socket();    

var hosturl = "www.yourdomain.com",
    fullCallUrl = "http://www.yourdomain.com/api/index.php?var=value"
    
if (conn.open (hosturl + ":80", "binary")) { 
    $.writeln("Connected!");
    conn.write ("GET " + fullCallUrl + " HTTP/1.0\r\nHost:" + hosturl + "\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n");
    reply = conn.read(999999);
    $.writeln(reply); // FULL REPLY
    conn.close();    
}

reply = reply.toString().match(/\{.+\}/g);
reply = eval("[" + reply + "]");

    alert(reply[0].info); // alert out the json object associated with a message

// END WEB GET CALL
