Generating a SIMPLE licence key system
Every stackoverflow question I read descends into "Everyone can crack it"
and "Dont annoy your customers"...
I get that. I want to know to make a basic, totally crackable, easy to
pirate and non obtrusive licencing system. In fact, I would be happy if
someone was motivated enough to crack my software, it means I am doing the
right thing.
The implementation i have in mind is:
Licence key like:
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Which then activates with a central database, sending some hardware info
(got that code already). If different, user gets a message saying
"Hardware changed, by clicking OK you will stop other PCs using this
licence from working. Are you sure?" Yes / No
If they proceed it will blacklist the old hardware id with that serial on
my server.
What I need is a way to generate a simple serial number, I am happy to use
a library but I want to get up and running quickly and get back to
development. Whats my best option?
