Welcome to Hise.dev. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully as you agree to be bound by it while using the HISE.dev website.
There are a few solutions for implementing a simple copy protection solution, eg. like suggested in this forum topic. The problem with these approaches is that whatever security trick you will think, of in order to secure your plugin, the attack vector will always be that hackers will read the HiseScript code that's embedded into the plugin's binary and just change a human readable:

Do we transfer Personal Data overseas?
The Internet is a global environment. Using the Internet to collect and process Personal Data involves the transmission of data on an international basis.

Where processing of Personal Data is based on consent, if we learn that this data belongs to someone under the age of 13, we will cease processing and will take reasonable measures to delete the applicable information from our records, unless the consent is provided by a parent or guardian.
