Hi

This normally not very clever to do
because if the user has entered once the right serial, he can scan which files you installed and rebuild your installer without any serial...

So this no real security

nevertheless sometimes it has its uses and you can achieve it with your own custom page (read the manuel how you can do this)
If you have your custom Page you simple set
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE mycheckfunction
before your custom Page
and in the mycheckfunction you check the serial and abort or give some errormessage...

hope this help as start

they can also extract the files from your installer with 7zip and never have to enter any serial, so you better encrypt your files. The real solution is to put the protection in your app and not the installer (it will still get cracked, but thats life)

iam not thinking about crack. because decompile nsis script is now impossible, whatever i wrriten in the script the cracker are not able to read. so any one give me a script for UltraModernUI Serialnumber page.

thats not true, a old version of 7zip will decompile the code not just extract the files (the resulting code is not pretty, but its there)
