Hi Friedrich,

I am using "Create Subscription Key" tools from SB IDE and it works good. I
know, there is a SDK that allows me to make a win32 program so I can
generate keys locally. But both way supposed to manual processing on local
PC. I think it will be great if we will able to use it "online" and not
like win32 program but using PHP/ASP etc languages on *nix web server.

The sPSDK is running on quite a few servers 365/24/7 to generate thousands
of keys per hour. Of course, no manual interaction is required at all (and
would be impossible in this case). Customer orders, the sPSDK generates the
serial number and subscription keys, server sends information to customer.

But you are right, the sPSDK is only available as 32-bit Windows component
(a 64-bit version is planned). But there is not a non-Windows version
planned for the foreseeable future.

Yes, this is a "problem"

>But there is not a non-Windows version planned for the foreseeable future.

One idea comes to my mind. Could you provide a online service that generate
keys? Customer can POST a request with all necessary info to that service
and then gets result, then can do what they need....

Hi Friedrich,

Since most of us use unix/linux and Apache for web servers I think it would
be very nice to be able to subscribe to a hosted service like this on your
server for immediate online delivery of MP keys.

Best regards,

Hi Friedrich,

Guenaddi has an idea there :

You have a windows server
You provide "us" a link to "our" copy of the SDK we fill in https our need and your server sends it to us....

I am SURE I would buy such a subscription from YOU

;)


Merci

Some months ago I already told a manager at Microsoft that I'll never ever
go through this VeriSign nightmare process again <g>
