Make licence

[Erik.]

Hi,

I now have a little program.

I want to be sure that the program will not go into the illegal circuit

so i want to give people a licence.

i want to check there serial of there C drive whit:

DriveGetSerial("C:\")

Now how to let the program check if the serial is good if not then it must give a message box whit the text that the have the illegal program and close the program so the can't use it.

I have tried something but it does not work:

$serial = DriveGetSerial("C:\")

if Not $serial = serial Then

Exit

EndIf

Can someone give me some lines?

Wel.. first of all: 1 post would be enough

Second, you can use a DBS with al the good serials --> check if it's one of them --> is not: MSGBOX easy

Sorry, lost my way of what you want...

A program which you will give to a member, after he runs it. The program will check if he has a valid C:\ if not than the program will quit and else it will go continu?? is that the idea?

if $serial <> "238089243" then exit

This is the solution:

$var = DriveGetSerial( "c:\" )

If $var <> "35703392754" Then

MsgBox(0,"ERROR","Serial false")

Exit

EndIf

Thank you Thatsgreat2345!!

[ms_news]

you know that you can change the serial number of a drive?

so it is not secure!

[Thatsgreat2345]

you can but for his purposes its not going to matter because theyll have to know the original drive key for it to work which would require them getting the source code and or being a good debugger

So my program is safe:P

no one knows how it was written and no one can decompile it so i think it will be safe..

I recently asked a similar question, my program gets the MAC address of the PC, then encrypts part of it (using stringencrypt), which is sent to me to decrypt, I then send the user back the decrypted "key" so that he can run the program.

If the program is run on a different PC then a key must be aquired for that Machine.
