numéro de série

[markymoniom]

Bonjour, j'aimerais savoir si il est possible de crée une application ou on a besoin d'un numéro de série pour activer le jeu sans passer par Instal Creator Pro.

Merci d'avancer pour vos réponse.

Bonjour markymonium (my French is terrible so i hope You also understand my english Answer).
There' s a nice Extension by LB called "Advanced Volume Info" which is able to retrieve the Serial-Number of a Harddisk in the Users Computer.
With that Object, you can create your own Installer in MMF2 which cross-checks the "Programm-Serial-Number" (that the User entered upon Installation) with the Hard-Disk-Serial-Number.

With kind regards,
jahkri

What I mean by "Numéro de série" is : Instalation-key to instal the game.

Okay, I barly understand what do you said. I'll check for this extension, but I don't really understand how it work with you explication. I want some kind of : If you instal the game, you need a Serial-Key. Then if you use this serial on another computer, you will not be able to play online with the other people who have the same Serial-Key of the game. (Some kind of security system if I sell my game).

Thank you for your explication, if you can give me an .mfa exemple, it will be helpful.

Thanks

P.S.: I hope you can read my english haha!

Hi Markymoniom, don' t worry, your english is very good.
My Method is a "Challenge/Response"-System. Your User installs the Programm and then upon first Start it asks him to enter the Serial-Number BASED ON THE CHALLENGE-CODE that is created by the Programm (based on the Hard-Disk-Serial retrieved by the "Advanced Volume Info"-Extension. Then the User "somehow" has to send You that Information so You can generate the appropriate Serial-Key for his Computer.
I hope You understand what i mean, anyway, here' s a small MFA that shows the Basic-Principles. Be aware that i have not documented the example very well because it' s very self-explanatory.
The "game01.mfa" is the Game You want to unlock and "UnlockCodeProgramm01.mfa" is the Programm that creates the Serial-Number based upon the Challenge-Code You receive from Your User.

Yeah! Thanks alot! I will get an eye on this exemples because I do not really understand very well what did you say. But if it doesn't require network to make the serial number for the registration of the game, it will be okay. I will reply soon!

EDIT : The file .mfa doesn't work because I need to get QuickHash Object and DialogBox. those are for MMF2 Dev only and I don't have MMF2 Dev... :/
