You're going to struggle with the three banes of licensing:

1. Someone smart will just take the code out
2. You'll need to license per server or to have the keys circulating on the internet
3. Most people will just get a free alternative

To remedy the first one...you can't. PHP is not piled. the other two are less about code.

Usually on the internet what you can see is not licenses but memberships, unless you mean to install your application on internal servers of other panies, if that is the case, there are many installers setups that help you restrict an installation by provising an encripted key, in that case would be your license.
