Can Kagi calculate registration codes for my programs?
Yes.Here's how it works. You provide us with the algorithm explained in english and we script it into our system according to your specification. When a payment is processed and we provide the buyer with the text you have provided we replace placeholder in your text with the registration code information that is generated with the algorithm you provide. Fairly simple.
Many authors ask if we have a standard algorithm and the answer is no. We work with whatever protection scheme you choose to implement in your software. If you like another author's registration code algorithm and wish to use that, you will need to make arrangement with them to license their algorithm.
We have not determined costs (if any) for calculating registration codes. We were considering charging to perform the calculation but as our volume of email asking "Where is my registration code?" goes up, we are considering an opposite approach. If we are unable to provide the reg code we might charge extra. Probably we would charge a programming fee to implement your registration code algorithm that is based upon the time that it takes to reproduce it in our system. At present we do not charge extra based upon whether we can or cannot issue your registration codes. This is still under consideration.
The registration codes can be calculated from the registration name, the email address, a sequential number that increments with each payment for your product, or any combination of these.
