Hi all,

This is just a curiosity question, lol, but we've all bought software
and had to enter  a unique CD Key and/or serial number to install and/
or activate it.  My question is: How are these added to the program,
because the only way I can think to do it would create only one CD Key/
Serial Number for *all* copies of the app!  I'm using VB6 Enterprise
Edition, and would like to make my apps distributable on CD in this
fashion.

Thanks!
Jason
