This is the reason I wanted a dll or api etc to create the keys etc.
My idea (and I have no problems in sharing the system or idea) is
this.

The user grabs a copy of my software from whereever. The first time it
runs it says you need a trial key. Please follow the link (http). The
link takes them to my system and passes the HARDWARE fingerprint to my
cgi and asks the user for a valid email address. It then sends a trial
key valid for 30 days or whatever back vai the mail. It also creates
what i call an invoice page for that user and notifies him of this in
the same email.


The user is up and away once the mail gets there.


at any time in the next 30 days he can click on the link for the
invoice page and is offered a huge array of software registration
systems he can elect to pay with. PAYPAL is how I like it. I have
written to most of the ones I can find and have found heaps that will
let me pass a unique field (what I call a transaction number) to the
payment system. Once they pay the amount and email from the
registration system is sent back to my server which is read by my
registration system matching the transaction number to the invoice etc
and then genorates a new 90 day key and again emails it to the user.

If in 90 days I get a charge back due to a credit card fraud or
whatever I simply mark that transaction and nothing more tkes place.
if however nothing is wrong in 90 days or just before a NEW key with
an expire dateof some 20 years away is mailed with either an
explanation or simply and email saying due to our system crashing we
have had to upgrade your key.....

Look the system is not impossible to break but I want to go away
fishing etc and needed a way to do the above for a few weeks at a
time. Idealy I would like to be able to call a HTTP page/cgi passing
the FINGERPRINT directly from the WRAPPER TYPE protection scheme but
this may not be possible...
