Friedrich,

Any ETA on a DLL which will allow us to generate maintenance keys from our
applications.
It is a must for us with registration servers to allow autogeneration.
Having to manually generate them is problematic and does not scale.
Using wupdate with a maintenance key is the best way to enforce licensing
for subscription and maintenance models.

Hi Benjamin,

The bulk subscription generation is part of the RegKISS development project.
We are using a test version in production now...
