I did get sidetracked with Python for a while and trying anagrams of clever ( quickly dismissed ) using spam as ad is new to me, but it works - lets see if I'm adroit enough to set tomorrows

Solution for the peons please.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Only because pkfox solved it
Spam - ad
Trio - trio
Absurdly- anagram?
Clever - definition
Ad + trio -> adroit
I thought “spam” was the clue for an anagram.

Celebrated by having cold leftover pizza for breakfast. One of my favorite breakfasts. Note that when having it for breakfast it must be eaten cold. Warmed up is for lunch an dinner.
So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

I am not there, but hopefully next year, when I would like to sell my dungeon mapper.
Anyway I plan to make the app "freeware", but every time one save their document there is a nagging ad windows for like 8 seconds, with an opportunity to buy a license (which got rid of the add!).
I am not too sure how to make the registration though.
If it's a single magic key, then it can leaked to the whole world and nobody need to buy anyway. if it's a key specific to the computer they need to register computer and perhaps receive a computer specific key to the email they registered with, but that sounds bothersome...
Any other idea?

Maybe these...
1. OTP - generate personal key - base on email, but when first entered you also ask for an one-time-password, which will send to the same email...
2. Hardware bounded key. In this case you have to add a way to move license from one computer to an other, which will ask for identification based on the original registration values...

I have hardware keys not because I want to limit the number of licenses (unlimited licenses is fine by me), but just so that key cannot be shared....
But you seem to imply that having to wait for an email for the app to be unlocked is fine. Actually the app can run without it and can register it without restarting as well.. so.. it's fine hey!

If there is no problem with unlimited licenses, but you do not want to pass an existing license from one machine to an other, than use machine bounded without further check... Create an API that will receive a number that identifies the machine (CPU id?) and returns a unique registration code for that... End of story...

Should not be specific to a computer, but a customer.

machine key is because I want to make license key unshareable.
other than that unlimited machines is fine.
so buy licence once.
when unlocking a new computer, request (via return email) a key for that machine.
I was wondering if it was annoying, but since the app work 100% even unregistered and since the lock key can be entered while the app is running, I guess it's not much of a bother.

As long you do not expect customers to remember or keep anything. An email based license key recovery is more or less a must (it can be done manually to start with), but then you cross into GDPR territory which can also be entertaining. And then of course, there are also people changing email and loosing access to the old one.
|
|
|
|

Yes.. I was concerned about people losing email..
But I have yet to work on the website.. where I want the people to be able to login with Oauth (I'll use all .NET Oauth provider?!) to update / recover their details!

At minimum, your key needs to be tied to the machine.
User needs to contact you (company) with encrypted info from his/her computer and you generate a key based on that.
Email back the key to the user.

Yeah.. I guess I was wondering whether it was too much of a bother for the user...
But since the application can be used while all of this is happening, I guess it's fine...
