We are using Aquatic Prime, but we don't send the user the license file, we generate a random key that consists of English words and a four-digit number, like these: garage-temple-ant-liquid-2585 reason-blinker-eyeliner-ease-5524 garden-work-tenor-sweets-4223 hockey-voyage-lizard-softball-1651 This type of license code is much easier to transcribe than a string of random letters and numbers. When the license code is entered, the app connects to our server and downloads an Aquatic Prime license file. In your case, you could pre-generate these random codes, store them on your server and print them on the discs. When the user enters the code, your app could ask the user for their details (name and email address) and then connect to your server, verify the license code and generate and deliver the Aquatic Prime file. -- Rob Keniger
