: Did you register the *correct* version? Seems odd, but this gave a lot of confusion in the past... i.e: which version did you download, Delphi 7 Personal or Delphi 6 Personal? The only way I could find to register was by clicking on www.borland.com/downloads/download_delphi.htmland then clicking on Delphi 2005 Personal. IT is not an exact fit because I don't have a disk for 2005. My sn and auth code for Delphi 6 did not work. Am I going to the wrong web site? I just reregistered and quickly got an automatic response but there is no sn or auth key. Am I going to the wrong web site?Oops! I found the website www.mariovaldez.net/webapps/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/Delphi7PE_downloadsite.png and see there is a personal as well as the 2005 version. Thanks for the helpFollow Ups
Often, a unique identification number, such as an ID number or a serial number or code, serves as a primary key in a table. For example, you might have a Customers table where each customer has a unique customer ID number. The customer ID field is the primary key.

I am trying to get all of our teams laptops to have Autodesk Inventor on them. We saw that 2012 is new so we began installing that on them but even after registering them and getting the product key and serial number it says that there is a 30 day trial only. Do FIRST students not get 2012?
I stumbled across an interesting link that made me think about a solid serial number system based on strong cryptography. Cryptography discourages systems based on secret algorithms, and relies on open algorithms and secret keys. So let us develop a serial number generation/verification system with the same usability as the one in the linked article but without any secret algorithms.
The verification is 2-phase process. First, it converts a serial number in 20-letter format entered by user into a 11-byte serial key, calculates the checksum of the first 9 bytes and compares it with the last 2 bytes (this prevents user from mistyping his serial number). Second, it hashes the 9-byte key and checks that the hash exists in the keyhash table.
And now the challenge. The last TForge release (0.74) includes full source code of console application with the serial number system described above, in the Demos\Challenge subfolder. The key generation code is also included, though it is not used in the application and could be kept secret; the only thing I keep secret is 128-bit master key used.
Attacks on Serial Numbers rarely go after the actual recovery of the private key. The most common attack on a serial number system is to simply disassemble the code that checks for a valid key and skip it.
Then you try to obscure that code, and the attacker uses a reverse debugger. If you move the check from the client to the server, then the attacker moves from attacking the code that checks the serial number to the code that validates the response from the server.
At some point you will reach a point of diminishing returns. When this point is reached, you will annoy your paying customers more than they are willing to be annoyed. So while the strength of AES-128 may comfort some people, it is beside the actual point when used to secure, say, software serial numbers.
1. All serial numbers should be unique2. All serial blocks should be non-linear3. All serial numbers should mathematically verifiable back to a root-key4. Serial numbers should avoid classical serial formulas (*1, *2)5. Each serial segement (number block) should be unique to its collection
Having worked with the problem, it quickly became clear to me that the human factor is the only way to maintain healthy protection and sales. So i urge customers to never ever put all their eggs in one basket. Never generate all your serial numbers from the same root key (or a single crack will devestate your entire production line). Always generate a new root-key per 100 serials (or 1000 depending on your sales and volume). You may also want to generate a unique root key for vendors, discount codes and so on. Just to make it harder for hackers and warez sites to dominate your products.
Also, there is a difference between serial number generation, management and software protection. When generating serial numbers, like the code you hint to (and also the idea of using SSL for the grunt work), there are many aspects you have to take into account:
1. Being able to calculate a serial number back to its root key for validation2. Being able to easily map a serial to a product line3. Match minimum requirements of online software vendors (payEx being the most irritating of them all)
I just purchased 2 copies each of Acronis True Image Home 2010 (English) and 2 copies each of Acronis True Image Home 2010 Plus Pack* (English) online. I received the email from Cleverbridge with download info and registration serial numbers. I have downloaded the install exes.
I have my original CD 2009 home version with the serial code, I registered it a long time ago. I no longer have the orignal account info so i set up anew account. when i try to install the program you say S/N is invalid. when i go to your web site you say it is already registered, ok I did it probably under a different account, when i try to contact support about this issue you want the build number but i can,t open the program to get this number! YOUR SITE IS A REAL CATCH 22!! Can you please help resolve this issue!!
Following your post I have successfully installed and it seemed like it successfully deactivated theirs just like you mentioned to do above, and then it successfully activated this install on my computer and my install 'Does Show Activated', HOWEVER, the most important thing I want out of this is when I look in my Acronis account I still see I only have 7 different registered versions of TI, and I want it to show 8 versions now and I don't see TI v2013 listed in my account either which absolutely I want to have that show up! Also for whatever reason their serial number still shows up in their account when they look, and not in mine? They want to close their account and give me the 2013 serials which is all they have in there anyway.
However I Want To Be Able To See it in My Registered List but it's not! Interestingly the serial numbers (they have two licenses) and those two serials still show up in their account list, not mine! ..even though I am activated on them?
My TI 2013 software is activated using 'either of those serials' and I can change serial numbers back and forth and it still activates, and that' fine, but again, I Want To Be Able To See those two serials in My Registered List (heck I only really need one but they bought two is a point I guess)
Apart from personal observations, my main sources for the information below are serial number data compiled by the Remington patent division in the 1950s (later made available to collectors by Remington executive David P. Sheridan); Thomas Russo's Mechanical Typewriters; Paul Lippman's American Typewriters; "Touch Method Instructor for Remington Typewriters," a pamphlet put out by Remington in the mid-thirties; and a "Remington Touch Method Typing Instruction Book" of 1940. These sources sometimes conflict with each other. I've taken the serial number data as most authoritative, but I know from comparing them to my own typewriters that they are not foolproof. Take everything below with a grain of salt!
The typewriters are listed in the chronological order of their introduction (which is not always the same as the order of the model numbers!). Portions of the name given in brackets do not appear on the typewriter itself. The starting and ending dates of the production are listed, along with serial number data and production numbers. In May 1942, all production of Remington typewriters ceased for the duration of the war, as factories were converted to military purposes.
For each model on this page, I provide the serial number range and the dates of manufacture. You can date a Remington down to the month of manufacture, in many cases, by consulting the detailed serial number records available on The Typewriter Database.
You can use the serial number to determine the precise month of manufacture without consulting the database if you have a semi-portable Remington Junior (1914-1921), no. 1 portable, no. 2 portable, or a Rem-Blick. These models, like all Remington typewriters made from August 1914 through August 1928, use a 2-letter, 5-numeral code. The first letter represents the model of the typewriter (J for the Junior, N for the #1 and #2, or K for the Rem-Blick). The second letter represents the month of manufacture, according to the following code:
The situation is complicated by a few Century typewriters that are essentially just Remington Juniors with a Century name decal. The serial number on one of them, JH40162, suggests manufacture as early as 1914, but H is not a known month code.
When the company figured out that its portables could type without raising the typebars to a 45-degree angle, the #3 was introduced. This is much like the #2 except that there is no rising panel or side lever. The typebars rest at an angle of only 15 degrees or so, and are surrounded by a metal lip marked "Remington" (or, rarely, "Remington 3"). This typewriter introduced the paragraph key -- a key that automatically advances the carriage five spaces (labeled "Self Starter" on some models and specimens). Early Remington No. 3 portables may have a paper bail (a horizontal bar with rollers that hold the paper down), such as the red machine on the right above. Later ones have paper fingers, like all other Remington portables until the introduction of the All-New Remington Portable in 1949. The No. 3 came in various attractive colors and color combinations. Its original price was $60. British name variants: Remington Home Portable, Smith Premier Home Portable, Smith Premier Chum Portable. I have had a report of one #3 which types in capitals only (V341853, November 1930). The December, 1933 American Boy-Youth Companion advertises a "Remington Special Portable" for $19.95 that also looks like a caps-only #3. See the information above about the #2 for details on some #2 portables that have serial numbers within the supposed #3 range. 2ff7e9595c
