License Security — SAEPro
License Security guide for SAEPro, with safe WordPress configuration steps and SaeTheme recommendations.
License Security
SAEPro is a fast WordPress blog and magazine theme with Latest Posts in Free, Premium featured/homepage layouts, advertising, custom footer credit, RSA-SHA256 signed entitlements, SHA-256 integrity checks, and protected updates.
Signed Premium authority
SAEPro Premium uses an RSA-SHA256 signed entitlement issued by SaeTheme.com. The token is bound to the licensed product, domain, exact version, official build root, feature grants, issue time, and expiry.
Integrity checks
Critical files are hashed with SHA-256 and the calculated manifest root must match the official build root inside the signed entitlement. The signing public-key fingerprint is pinned after the first valid activation. Premium feature gates fail closed when the signed authority or official integrity cannot be validated.
Reading a PHP file does not change its hash. Editing a protected file does. No self-hosted PHP theme can be mathematically impossible for a server owner to modify, so this system is designed for strong tamper detection and server-authoritative entitlement rather than an absolute anti-modification claim.
