I’m now developing the rental functionality for my K program. Its a lot easier that I thought, but I can’t figure whats the best way to add rental records to my database.

My Rental table has two important fields, Order Number and expiration date.

The order number is ShareITs order number. When the license key is generate by ShareIT on their website, theres no way for them to contact my database and add a record for me.

I get an email from ShareIT when I get an order, so I could add a record to my database by hand.

I could get the K program to add a record if one doesn’t exist, but I won’t know the expiration date.

I’ll also get an email if they stop paying monthly.

I was also thinking, people could be sharing there license key and maybe this is something I should check also, but thats a different question, I guess.

Either way, it seems as if I’d have to enter the order number record or the expiration date.

Maybe I could just do it in PhpMyAdmin or maybe I could create a simple screen.

I can hear Blue saying, if theres no money in it, don’t do it, but I’m concerned if I don’t put a little thought into this now, that I may end up fire fighting at a later date.

Ideally I don’t want to do anything to add / update the database.

Thoughts ?
