Build a registration screen

[Chappie]

Hi.

I'm looking to build a basic registration form, and I would like to ask how would I go about it please?

Thanks.

The form is the least of your problems. Forms are forms.

It sounds like you are really asking something like "plz gives me da codez" for something pretty extensive. Software registration usually involves some sort of registration server, and for the most part it isn't worth trying to create and run your own.

Bunch of links here, though I don't know anything about them: http://www.softwaremarketingresource...nservices.html

You asked the same question two months ago. What have you discovered from your research from the guidance given then? I see you never went back there to answer the questions of the other posters.

Tend to agree with dilett....too many people just ask for code, not real guidance. I would have thought over the past two months you would have discovered something about how to do this. Then, normally, a person who did find 'some code' to try to implement, would try to implement it, and if had issues, come back to the folks on this forum for FURTHER guidance.

Also, your question on this Thread is very vague/broad. What specifically do you want to accomplish?

[dilettante]

I'd look at a few like http://www.activatenow.com/ and get their SDKs and study them. That might get you most of the way there.

You should start with a proper analysis of just how much security you really need. Do you really expect attacks that would defeat an offline license key system? Is your software popular enough that even if someone did, the crack would be distributed?
If it is that popular, you'll also have to consider there is no registration system AFAIK that hasn't been broken on a sufficiently popular product.
A strong offline license key system is almost certainly going to be sufficient; I highly doubt you're going to be developing something in VB6 that's at the level of requiring a license server.

Thanks to everyone's reply. - I'm not aware that the same question was asked about 2 months ago.

After a bit more of research, and a bit of digging.

I just need a need to find a way of my vb project to connect to a web server of web site and validate a registration key.
Also in VB 6's components, which option should I choose.

Thanks.
