Software Licening..
-
Hello friends, We have developed a small game(Windows Application) and now we wish to distribute it. We just want to do authentication of user. That is licensed user only should use the software. I just want to know, what steps should we follow and what are different techniques available to achieve this. Thanks in advance. Rahul Kulkarni

Hi, IMO the most important thing is not annoying your users with to heavy licensing ;) Probably for a game your users are just expecting a serial number. You need to pick where to store it, in your app settings, or the registry. Then you need some code to generate numbers, and some code to check if a serial number is valid. http://www.codeproject.com/install/LicenseKeyGeneration.asp[^] - seems useful for that.
