Use own IDs for product activation
A Serial Number contains a lot of information like:
• | Number of network licenses |
• | Expiry date |
• | Module Number |
• | Encryption to ensure that the Serial Number only can be used for the license it was made for |
• | CRC value to ensure that it was not modified |
To hold this information every Serial Number has this format
ldGEl-5IPc3-9E8Iq-3tQ8X-PQU5k-6m14D
There are situations, especially with CD distribution, where a short number with only upper case letters would be ideal.
If the following situation fits, you can use any ID as a Serial Number:
• | Singe user license |
• | Network license but you additionally deliver a license file |
• | Full version has no time limitations after the product activation |
If you create the IDs you have to just ensure, that they are unique.
