Registration Number

[haj1503]

I have a database that I would like to create the registration number which if the user didn't enter valid the registartion number into the database then the database will disable the program and soon after period given.

Any ideas on what I can try? Anyone ever tried to do something like this?

why not just give the db a password or setup user gorups and security???

This is easy enough using a table with registration numbers in it - but not too secure. You could create a coded algorithm in order to 'encrypt' the table values so that the registration code is not readable via the table - I have not seen an example here of that but I'm sure you could create something.

There are however plenty of examples of how you can make your Db tme limited, serach for 'expire' in this forum's search for ways of doing this.

Have a look at Peter's Software

Have a look also at SG Registration tool at:

http://accesstools.narod.ru/

It is freeware and it is individual PC base registration system for Microsoft Access

Hope this helps.

haj1503,

Are you using Windows NT? because I got the same error on NT operating system also.

The work around is check the VBA code and comment out the offending line.

Let me know it that works or not.

Hi Matomo,

Currently I running my Ms Access with Window 98 second Edition,

Previously, I've faced problem like this, but what I've to do, I copy back all my application to a new database application.

The time error not come up but I don't know why this similar problem come-up again, I've tried my previous step but unfortunely is didn't work. But I believed our friend at this discussion may be can help us.

Hi haj1503,

You can try this attached file it was written by Glen Kruger and some other people at Utter Access forum. I made some modifications to some parts of the code. This is just a simple way of making a database expire after 30 days and calling for registration code which you will supply to the user.

1. basRunFirst
2. frmValidate

I don't know how to tie the unlocking code to individual PC but I searching and reading up on that part. If you can help with this part please let me know.

Keep in touch.

Hi Cosmos75,

I am working on this database over this weekend at home I will post my work may by Sunday.

I still need to find a way to verify the Hard Disk Serial number everytime the database is open using a function that will be called with a function from the autoexec macro.

If you can help please let me know.

Cheers
