Hey everybody,
I'm experimenting with user registration keys, on-line and off line and I have an idea on how to set this up. I'd still like some feedback!
User registers (Purchases) the game/application by providing a username. This through the purchase process or by registering on a website.
User Registration App:
The username provided will be converted to a string of numbers and a certain calculation converts that string to a registration key.
The user then gets an email with the username and registration key.
Off-line Registration:
When the user is prompted to enter his registration name and key the same calculation (from the registration app) is made on the name and key to check if it is valid.
On-line Registration:
Basically the same as off-line but additionally a connection is made to a ftp with database and validates there as well.
What do you think? Any suggestions? Critics?
Thanks!
Edit:
Here's another question to full on-line login. I know, optimally a proper PHP/mySQL database would be prefered, but how well would a password secured folder with user files work? Or would a database system, created with DarkDATA work?
Might seem like a lot of questions... well they are but I'm just trying to get a discussion going on here!
