    Grin Setup Factory 7 simple protection

    Can you help me protect my soft in setup factory 7 (Sorry for my English)

    When I make in security setting list 1 (for example) with 100 serials, all this serials can
    Open installation program. And if user will know even one serial number he can share program very easily.

    I wont to make two list in security setting for example 100 serials in per list and how
    Make like this to in Verify serial number windows will two fields, in first field will appear Random serial from list 1, for example second from row. and there will my phone number, user Will call me in phone and dictate this serial, I will compare and tell serial what is in
    List 2-s second row.

    Or if in first field appear random serial for example tenth from list 1, I tell users serial
    Number from list 2-s tenth from row and then will work button "next".

    I think it will very simple protection system for me and for users to. I don't need to use
    No MD5 and no SQL and no internet. I will have only Excel file with two rows, for example

    1. abcdef - 12345
    2. abraka - 32456
    3. ddadaa - 15123
    -. ------ ------
    100. tftft - 84856

    And if in first field random serial will "tftft" user will call me and I will tell 15123 for Second field and only then will work "next" button,

    Maybe it will easy to cracked with brute force or simply ****** crack, but it's not Important for people like me.

    In this situation I can stop share my program, for example if one user will have my program
    He will know only his own serial and if his friend will copy this program, in his computer
    Will appear random other serial.

    I think it will were simple protection system
    For all peoples like me who don't know how use SQL or MD5.

    thank all who can help me

    I know this is not an answer to your question, but anyway:

    First, this will be extremely annoying for your customers, and equally inconvenient for you to handle your sales.

    Next, this is a really very weak protection.
    If the protection is embedded inside the installer itself, once the app is installed (with a valid serial entered in the installer) - it is completely unprotected. One may just collect and repack the files placed by the installer and distribute them, thus bypassing the 'protection'. This is very easy to do, you don't have to be a 'cracker'.
    Such approach may only delay a bit, but not prevent the illegal distribution.

    not my thing
    and I may be off here ,but A client of mine uses certificates generated from id of machine
    sent to his server he then sends back unlock code
    so when program is installed a unique is number is made and only his server has the other number that makes the key
    sort off like the code made by https web sites
    I think there is a apz here to make them???????

    I'm new here so bear with me
