Serial Numbers

[NewsArchive]

I am starting to investigate searial numbers, subscription keys and the
like. I'd like to start with a question about serial numbers.

It seems that the "Serial Number" in SetupBuilder is a feature to make sure
that only person with a valid SetupBuilder generated serial number can
install the product.

Most companies have their own user identification numbering system. I simply
use 1 to 10,000.

So it seems that for me to use the SetupBuilder generated Serial Number I
need to take the exported list of 10,000 generated serial numbers, assign a
number to each indicating which user number it is for, and then supply that
to the user...correct?

-OR-

I could just have a list of 20 or so serial numbers and send use then
randomly.

Am I along the right path here for what it was designed for?

Thanks,

Mike

The latter Michael, for serial numbers anyway. I've done it this way for
over 12 months now, using any one from a list of 10 that SB generated, must
get around to generating some new ones.

Subscription keys can be unique to the customer as they would be date
dependant.
