Well im posting this here because im attempting it in vb. it may belong in the systems development section.

Any way... every body nowadays uses demos.
Well i have created code (in vb) to create a demo with a time trial, and the user can enter a purchased registration code,

My question is, how can i make the program so a registration will only work on one trial and not on all the others, (ie...unable to pirate copy)
I assume it must require using the net to do this,
I predict a solution might be that a array of codes already used, and an array of new codes available, is downloaded from a server and then checked, accordingly.

My problem is, is this the right way of tackeling the problem
2nd problem is implementing it.

If any one wishes to see the code. i created for a simple demo with trial period... i will be posting it in the howto section in a couple of days
