External applications like a shop system or ERP / CRM system can create any type of keys using an http request to the Activation Server.

 

You should only create keys after specifying an IP address to limit key generation for a specific server, limit the number of keys which can be generated per minute / hour and additionally use a password - details see security settings.

 

You can create different types of keys:

 

•Serial Number key

•Unlock Key - e.g. by activation through a web page

•Activation Keys - e.g. prolong a trial version or add additional network licenses

 

The URL consists of 2 parts:

 

Part 1 - URL to the server and web page - e.g. http://www.registerserver.net/lptest/lpweb/KeyGenerator.aspx?

 

Part 2 - Parameters to specify the key details

Example URL

The URL below creates a Serial Number

 

https://www.registerserver.net/lptest/lpweb/KeyGenerator.aspx?projectname=demo-easygo-40&entrykey=&instcodetype=&instcode=&requesttype=MA&moduleid=QHD001&customername=AllAbout%20Softtware%20Inc&email=&oemname=&allkeys=true&additionaldays=&additionallicenses=1&externalgroup=&externalid=&reseller=&numberofkeys=1&maxtries=&storeindb=true&islocked=&additionalKeyValue=&additionalKeyValueFixed=&expiryDate=&numberOfDays=&numberOfDaysFixed=&onlineValidationRequired=&demoversion=&regularLicenseChecks=&unlimitInstallations=true&activationState=1&isSerialnumber=true&typeofrequest=2

 

The URL creates an Unlock Key

URL encoding

Umlauts and special characters in text values have to be encoded (e.g. replace a space with %20). Most developer tools automatically do the encoding.
