code generator

does anyone have a good source code or idea on making a code for a program and the code generator?

Do you mean ... a serial number system so people need a valid code to install your game?

If so well I don't know anything other then Install Creator Pro and other such installer tools.

If its something else then I don't understand your question.

Yes that is what I meen serial number system.

I made one in MMF1.5 using the Code Generator Object. I'd post it up here but it hasn't been ported to MMF2.

Just encrypt some text... or does that use more than just letters and numbers.

Encrypt text and how would that help me? I'm going to need alot of serials not just one or two.

You could get an MD5 hash of the name of the program, copy number, anything else you like really, and an additional password, then check to see if the entered "licence" number matches (a part of) that MD5 hash.

i tried making a big complicated number multiplication addition subtraction division thing and giving values to letters to try to make a serial generator... but an md5 hash altered a bit would be just easier and quite good really

Not wanting to sound like a complete idiot,... but what the hell is a MD5 hash.

Well, put simply, it's a collection of characters calculated from the contents of a string. The String Parser 2 object can generate them with its mdFive$() expression.

I have just tried the string paser and read the documentation and I think I will be able to do something with it.
Thanks for the help.
