Hi,
I am currently using the SNHookClass to implement a serial number check for my plugin.
The C4D serials seem to work like this:
Input serial plus key into field (1212121212-vcvc-cvcv-cvcvc-etc.)
Check key
Change the field to view only serial
Is it possible to mimic this behaviour? That is to change the string displayed in the field? We would like to prevent viewing our license key but change it to the products serial number once checked.
Also does the dialog check every startup, or does it only check if field info has changed? If ot checks every time an I change what's in the field I would have to store the key in the plugins WritePluginInfo()?
Or am I missing the point completely? ;)
Any help on this would be great.
Markus
p.s.:
by serial number I mean a running number identifying the software instance
by key I mean a license key used to unlock the software
