How to create a "Product Key" in C# ?

[Stefano Del Furia]

Hi all,
i would like to know if someone knows how to create a product key in C#
for an application.
I would have the capability of generate a key (like windows product key)
based on some values (for examples client's name maxValues, maxClients,
etc) , values that i can retrieve inside my application.
Could someone point me to the right directions ???
Thanks in advance
Stefano

Licensing questions like that are asked all the time... I remember
answering questions very similar to this like 3 or 4 times at least in
the last month. Try searching google groups (I tried "C# licensing" on
the first try and it did have relevant results)

If you are willing to consider a commercial solution take a look at
Infralution's Licensing System (www.infralution.com/licensing.html).
It generates keys using a public key encryption system and allows you
to embed custom information in the key. It is also quite inexpensive
($US80).

You might want to check out Microsoft's ShareWare Starter kit.

It looks like there's license and activation source code there.

Another one you can use is CryptoLicensing (http://www.ssware.com/cryptolicensing/cryptolicensing_net.htm) - it supports various in-built limits and you can also embed your own data (like maxclients, etc) in each generated license
