Description of my issue:

Hi, I am sorry if this is an inappropriate place to ask this.

I really like the Add-on ID feature that you offer but I was wondering if it would be possible to extend this a little. Basically, it would be great to be able to see what websites are using the ID's (main ID and Add-on ID's).
Unfortunately I have been forced to give Super Admin access to a couple of my websites and it would be possible for these new admins to take the add-on download ID and use it on another site but I have no way of knowing if that is the case.
Obviously I don't expect anyone to bend over backwards to implement this but if you could maybe consider if it is at least possible then that would be great.
Thank you for your time.

We can't know which site uses which Download ID. Implementing that would require us to have you enter an exhaustive list of the web site URLs and IP addresses where you intend to install our software on, including localhost. This would be extremely annoying and it would still not be of any help as a client having access to the Download ID on an authorised site would still be able to download the ZIP package and install it on another site without a problem.
