Hi Guglielmo, I found a program in the Mac App store that generates an ANSI C MAs receipt checking module for your application. The URL is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/receigen/id452840086?mt=12
The price of $24.99 seems well worthwhile but I assume it would need an external interface to be built to use it from Livecode and I have no idea where to start on something like that.
