This is a very very basic example of how to make your program require a serial number. Your serial number can be most anything you like within reason, it will be encrypted. The crypted serial for this basic example will be inside your program. if you want to use this examples serial it is "my serial" It works like this. 1. Your program looks at a registry key value. 2. if the value does not exist or is wrong, the user will be asked for a serial. 3. if serial is correct, the regkey and value will be written to the registry and user will not be asked again because the next time they run it, the key and value will be there. 4. if serial is wrong, the program simply exits with a message. This is a simple example and not intended to protect your program from attack/hack or anything else. You should always be aware that the registry is used by your operating system, and is not to be played with. Example using registry method Here is an even more basic example using a folder existence method.

Here's something quite cool. It's a broadcasting and a client script that can send mp3 data over a lan/internet and play it on the other side. The scripts are very simple and should be self-explainable. However the client script (radio.au3) REQUIRES a version >3.3.0.0 since a bug has been corrected in autoit since that. If you want to try it over the internet I'm broadcasting my favorite Chopin piece for a while (maybe 12 hours or so). To try it connect to: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Playtime's over. Here's the scripts: Broadcaster.au3 Radio.au3 bass.dll Have fun! I commented the sources so it should be quite easy to learn from them Edit: Just for clarity, bass.dll is only needed on the client side. The broadcaster can manage on its own.

First, you should post working code, what you posted will throw errors. If you want people to help you, don't make them have to work so hard just to even have runnable code. Second, add some error checking like msgbox or consolewrite to see where or why your code is not doing what you expect.

Blankperson2, As you say you are not a spammer, I have lifted your 5 post limit. And I have merged the 2 threads. Just try and stick to one at a time in future. M23
