Hi
can someone give me advice on generating a serial number for advanced installer that the user has to enter with this format
LAP-1-550242046-82
basically I need the first the chars to be LAP but everything else can be random.
how do I do this, I have had a look at custom validation using a dll but i wondered if there is something a bit easier.
cheers

Hi,
I'm afraid that this cannot be done with Advanced Installer because you cannot set the first three characters to be "LAP" in the "Predefined fixed set of serials" field. Note that usually the serial numbers are generated by using code.
After the user inputs the serial number you can use a custom validation method which verifies the serial number (Algorithm verified serials, Server-side validation, User defined validation). You can read more about this here:
