Summary: Validation of serial number

Initial Comment:
Is it possible to prevent the installation from continuing 
unless the serial number is validated and match a 
specific license key?

What I want to do is the following:

1. Ship CD's with a unique serial number stored in a file 
on the installation CD.
2. During the installation, query the user for a license 
key (in a dialog box).
3. The installation program should check if the serial 
number and the license key match before permitting the 
installation to continue (ie the "Next" button should be 
disabled until the license key matches the serial 
number).
4. The serial number and the license key are different 
but one can be derived from the other using a simple 
mathematical algorithm.

I understand I problably have to modify script code 
myself, but is it technically possible to do using 
InstallBase? If not, this feature should be nice for future 
versions!
