hi,

For my windows application, i tried to verify Product Key during installation. I created setup, with set of 100 Product Keys inside.Actually my application don't need any Database to run.

I need to install my application to all PC's in LAN, with different Product Key(user should not use the same Product Key to install). If user tried to use same Product Key, i should give some alert(like product key used already).

So, i want to find my application with particular Product Key runs in LAN. How can i find it?

***(I suggest to maintain some database in LAN server, and periodically check during installation. But my boss said it may cause some security issues like permission,..etc to access server Database)

You people have any other ideas?? Please share with me and our forum followers...

Regards
Karthick

I don't think there is any other way other than persisting the used keys somewhere on the network that is accessible to all PC's. This could be done using anything such as text file, XML file, database etc but the main thing is that the machine is able to access that file.
