Dear Sirs:

I'm looking for a way to handle licensing after my customer has pd for
my software. Is there a software library that generates & accepts or
rejects codes such as product keys?

There are several. Armadillo was the most popular software protection and
licensing software for quite a while though it isn't as reliable a protector
as it used to be.

Oreans' product WinLicense is a product I've heard nothing but good things
about. You might look into it.

Seen many a good developer go bust due to spending more time
on protecting his programs than improving them. Gregory Braun's
software (Toolbar) is a fine example of that. He should have sold it
to Micro$oft. Far better than the stupid "charms" in Windows 8.

I don't worry about anyone cracking my software. I only support and
update registered users.

Exactly the right attitude.
I just realized I was replying to an ancient Msg, but the
concept is still valid.
