Serial Validation

I am interested in setting up serial validation and I am wondering if it could work with something like this...

Thank you.

Re: Serial Validation

Hello,

As I am not familiar with that software, I can not say for sure if this will work.

From what I could read in their documentation, it states that:
This API can be integrated into your software/web app to validate licenses.
This looks to me like this is to be integrated with your application, not with the setup package. Once again, as I am not familiar with it, I can not say for sure.

Now it also depends on which type of "Serial Validation" you are intending to use. For instance, if you intend to use the "User defined validation", then the .DLL you write must be able to access the application and check if the license key introduced by the user is valid.

I think that the best way would be to maybe download a trial of that software (if it offers one - hopefully it does) and try to test the scenario.

Most information about "Serial Validation" can be found in our "Serial Number Validation" article.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
