Thanks Jeff, That link contains some useful points, but I'm looking for more technical info. I'd like to know which algoritms are usually used to generate and validate the keys. They keys should look like random, and I would like to include the product and user name in a non-obvious way. So that, given the product and the user, I should be able to validate the given key. I'm sure there is a lot of information about this, and I know that this is probably related with encryption and checksum algorithms, but I cannot see the exact relation between the two. Any hints would be appreciated. Ignacio Castaño cas...@ya... Jeff Thompson wrote: > There was a good post on this subject on the Unsanity.org blog site.
