I am currently developing an extension and am planning to release it to Magento Connect. Is there a way for me to restrict who can download the extension (restrict download ability to a few select stores) or can any store download it once it is on Connect?

It is obvious once you put your extension to the Magento Connect, it will be available to all users. Magento Connect is the public marketplace of magento.
What you can do is write your extension to have license system
. So that when people install your extension, they will need to provide license key, which will be provided by you and works with only one domain name.

could you please elaborate on the license system. Can I control whom I give this license?– Kevin WuCommented Jan 29, 2016 at 5:28
