I have seen many questions about creating a registration system in your game. The answers to these questions were not secure systems.
I therefore created this.

What is this?
This is MReg System. A powerful registration system you can implement into any program using a DLL. I have created a GEX file for Game Maker users.
(The DLL is for use with other programming languages and older Game Maker versions)

What do I get?
You will get the MReg System program and the required GEX file for Game Maker.
The MReg System program allows you to create registration keys for users in your program or game. Each user can have an unlimited number of registration keys. Each key also has options, like the amount of times it can be used, and IPs to ban from it.

Looks impressive, what are some other features?
You can store each user who buys a registration keys information easily.
You can also easily copy one users information to another user.
You can generate different keys with different levels of security.
Ban specific keys if they are being given out to other people.
and so much more

Ok, whats the catch?
Nothing, just give me credit in your program in some way.

Updates are free and you will be automatically notified when there is an update in the MReg System program.
Updating to the new version only takes a second.

Alright, I'm ready to download!

DOWNLOAD for a direct link to the ZIP.

[Matt13]

Thank you, I did put a lot of work into it and I believe that this is a pretty powerful tool.

Let me know what you guys think! I need your input!

Matt

[IamCalle]

Very nice indeed!

I hope you have put much effort into the security- part. (like; preventing debugging, scripthiding, encryption, etc etc ?)

[Stian Aune]

[Matt13]

[Matt13]

I don't want to get into the specifics of how the programs works, it is not like an online game, it talks to a database.

[GisleAune]

ok

[Mordi]

That is really nice!
It would be very laborous to add all users and keep track of the keys if the game was very popular, though.
Would you need to get a server/database, or is this provided?

Edit: Very nice!

Edited by Mordi, 10 August 2007 - 12:34 AM.

[Matt13]

Thanks,
everything is provided! Very simple to use, yet extremely powerful.

[necrotic]

What if I were wanting to make a whole lot of keys.... I mean a LOT.

It might be worth your while to have an option to generate a rule for the keys, and the client will accept any key using that rule. Thats how most commercial programs work, or they wouldnt be able to be used without being used online.

It would make it a lot easier for me if I wanted to make an automated program to sell keys. I could then use the 'server' to control the keys and their use.

[Matt13]

Thanks for the reply,

I am currently working on version 2.00 which will include new features to make things easier.
For example there will be a mass email sender embeded in the program which allows you to mail out templates to all users in a program containing their key data.

I am also developing a script that can be used on your site to automatically create users and keys (for example once they buy your game in an online store this allows you to automatically create a key for them and email it to them)

Also I plan on developing an online MReg System area to manage keys, programs, and more, however that may not be released in 2.00.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If this works i would definitely use this. Right now its really nice, but too much work to handle all keys manually, since games could potentially have a vast number of buys.

see the bold---the user name and pass isn't encrypted, let your user get it... He can do anything to your account!

this is why no regstrey system is perfect there is always some way to trick the system into saying your reg'ed.
