first of all, i wrote a one way code generator a few years ago. :))
secondly, when i realised RegCode existed, i had already written
my own :)
thirdly, i have always been against using "commercial" registration
tools. why? because they provide you templates with how to write
your registration checking, the hacker knows what routines to
look for (as everyone uses them). i understand RegCode allows
you to manage your own "function" for generating your code,
but the framework exists.
my code generation algorithm is simple, and i can provide a
Java version of the code generator if PilotGearHQ want to
give it out online (i am going to write a proposal on how
to do this in the Java programming language).
one nice thing about RegCode is the generation of the
HEX key codes - it prevents typo's. :)
but if your user does not know how to type his own username
down, it makes you wonder. :) and it has happened once to me,
i just emailed back a new code..
i dont suggest you stop using RegCode, if you have not
written the code already (for registrations) - use it.. i
already have one, and it makes no difference to me - so
i am not going to change (i see no point).
cheers.
az.
