Serial numbers for download software ?

[maba]

I want to sell download software - this software must have a unique serial number to work.

Any suggestions on how I can automatically send a generated serial number to the purchaser.

It would be good if it could be included in the reciept that is sent to the user.

Hi Mark

As far as i can see, this cannot be done within Actinic. The main reason is:

Any suggestions on how I can automatically send a generated serial number to the purchaser.

This will be done on a server side and need additional coding. Actinic uses the orderscript.pl, so if you know perl, you could add some function which will generate the serial number, and then editing the Act_Order04.html to place this information in.

However, if you do not know perl, then it cannot be done.

What some software company do is provide a 30 day trial version, when someone purchases a product, then the website email them the key instead, once the order has been processed.

Kind Regards
