Message-Dialog to enter USERNAME & SERIAL
Hi there,

I am going to write a shareware-software.
When people buy the serial, they can enter it in the program.
The entered number (etc.) should be handled as a variable.
So you can write them to the serial etc.

How can I do that?

Thanks
Tobias

to get the serial/user, you can probably use the messagebox command, and do an inputbox. not sure exactly, check the nsis docs.

use Install Options :)

It will allow you to create a dialog window which fits right inside the NSIS window.
