Is it possible to create a licensed script for sale?

That is, create a script in Lua and protect the code with a license.
If there is any code, could you please let me know?

Lua is plain text, so any call to / code for a DRM function written in Lua could be trivially removed or disabled leaving the core functionality exposed. I think you'd probably need to have the core script functionality in compiled code called from the Lua script, and it's the compiled code that calls DRM services to check that it can validly be executed. [Which is more or less how Moho works --- the tools are "open", but the main code to run those tools is only unlocked with a valid licence.] And no, sorry, I haven't got any personal recommendations on which licensing software you could buy - but try this: https://www.capterra.com/sem-compare/li ... -software/

For some idea of the total addressable market, take a look here: https://mohoscripts.com/popularity-more-to-less -- the most popular script in that repository has just over 1000 downloads.

Think about your overall business model: Your pricing policy for the script; the cost to protect the asset; the likely number of licences sold; the competitive landscape (i.e. which products now, or might in the future, compete with whatever you're offering).

hope that helps you decide on a way forward.

I understand, thank you for the answer.
