Binary Registry Keys
Hello,
I'm trying to create a license key by hashing the windows product key so that the user can't simply copy the .exe's across.
The problem that I have is that the windows product key is a binary key, and NSIS only seems to be able to recover string keys or DWORD keys. Is there any way to get round this in NSIS, or do I need to write a c++ .exe to do the license key generation and execute it from NSIS?
Thanks,
Rik


You can use the Registry plug-in.
