Serial Number Validation

Description

This software package allows a software publisher who uses Setup Factory to track the usage of his serial numbers. The installer will submit the registration data to a remote server, performing an online validation of the provided serial number. The encrypted reply can be used to prevent the installer from continuing the setup, or it can enable / disable / preselect packages, etc.

Requirements:

• Setup Factory 9 or AutoPlay Media Studio 8
• Crypto Actions plugin or Mcrypt plugin (part of this package)
• PHP-enabled web server
• MySQL database server

Benefits:

Using the online serial number verification system as proposed in this project, the software publisher can build installers that can only be executed a predetermined number of times. Here are some of the benefits this system offers:

• Online activation curbs casual software piracy;
• Optional total maximum number of installations;
• Optional maximum number of weekly installations;
• Optional maximum number of bimonthly installations;
• Optional maximum number of yearly installations;
• NEW: Optional hardware fingerprinting (installing again on the same computer, even after re-installing the operating system, does not count as new installation and does not decrease the number of remaining allowed installations);
• Optional geolocation tracking;
• Optional automatic blacklisting of serials;
• Offline activation, using email for retrieval of the required activation code, if the computer where the product is being installed is not networked;
• Custom reply per serial, which can be any string or number you might want to use to control which packages are available to the user, or which should be preselected as default.

“Wow... What a wonderful piece of software. Its taken me a year to find something like this... all the while it was compatible with the AMS and SUF software I already had. You will have me as a customer for a very long time.
Keep up the great work.”
