It's about the same as when storing passwords. You should have a unique secret key known only to the generator and your program. Use this key to manipulate the details (user name, password, organization, etc) and then hash it. You can then do something trivial transfer encoding in on the hash or simply move it to a hex string if you don't care about a format. Any gotchas to look out for when implementing them? Keep secrets secret and separate. Make your implementation improvable.

If someone breaks it can you easily change the implementation? One common implementation on desktop applications is to use a remote server to validate the license. This removes the possibility that someone could reverse engineer a hash or the algorithm by inspecting the application itself.

My preferred method is to generate 10,000 random license strings, SHA1 (or MD5) hash them or HMAC them, and include all or part of the SHA1/MD5 hash in the executable itself. When a license string is entered, you simply use obfuscated code to generate the hash of the string and compare it to the ones in the list.

If it matches, it's a valid license. If you run low on licenses, release a new version with more strings.

Using just the first 96-bits of the SHA1 hash is adequate. So 10,000 licenses would take under 120KB. Algorithmic generation of keys or creation of a key generator would be impossible. The only vulnerability you'd have to worry about is reverse engineering or bypassing. (Or someone distributing their valid key.).

Universal Keygen Generator Online allows you to generate the serial numbers or product keys for all software.you can easily generate a serial key for any version and any software. It is a perfect software for beginners and professionals. It receives serial keys of recent software. Visio templates microsoft. It offers them genuine such as Windows 100% working Product keys.

Just a quick note that if you happen to be looking for a license key generator (or 'license key manager') for a desktop (Swing) application, I've been taking a look at the on java.net, and although it is several years old now, it seems to work well, and the author certainly put a lot of time and thought into it. As a word of caution, I did find the author's tutorial difficult to read, so I highly recommend looking at an introductory doc written by Martin Paulo. (Just search for his name on the TrueLicense homepage and you'll find a link to that doc.) After reading that doc, the author's tutorial made more sense to me. I don't know how many people need a Java license key generator, but if you're in the market for one, and 'free' (or donation-ware) is your right price, I recommend taking a look at the TrueLicense license key generator for Java applications. Using True License as a Java license key manager - Update Okay, I've finally gotten around to releasing my True License client and server code. You can find it in these two articles:.

Licence Key Generator

If you need a Java license key manager for your software applications, True License is a good, open source solution, and with these two articles, you should be able to implement True License easier than ever before. Java Store update In a related note, the ' is still in beta. If you haven't heard of it before, the Java Store 'is an application storefront that provides an easy and secure way to discover Java applications for your desktop.' I don't know what they're doing for software licensing and license management, but I thought I'd mention this 'store' again here today. I appreciate what they're doing, I just wish this was available a long, long time ago.
