Create your own plugin
hi
I am trying to learn NSIS scripting language. I am trying to make where user have to enter product key and the product key validates online. Once validated, the product key expires so that our customers can't install the software on another computer. I haven't find any plugin which will let me do that. I want to create my own plugin for this. I want to know how I can write my own plugin? i haven't find any good documentation which shows how to write our own plugin. I want to use Visual Studio C++.

Thanks for your help.

Regards
ABM

The best way is to alter existing plug-in - try to find similar plug-in and edit it.
I can recommend you to use some of the Afrow's plug-ins: they are written well [clean code, comments etc.]
There are some specific linker options for NSIS plug-ins so it is better to use whole solution [MS Visual Studio].
