Software Shop with Serial-numbers

[hellraid]

I am setting up a shop for a friend of mine that sells Software - I included the Download-Controller Ver. 5.3 which works fine :)

Now we want to mail the customer upon verification of payment a serial number to activate the software.

My idea is to add a custom table with license_id, products_id and orders_id to identify the software, check the order state and mail the customer the serial #.

 

I doubt that there is already a contribution that will do that for me - but if anyone knows of a contribution or hack that I could start with I would be eternally thankful :blink:

why not use the number generated for the specific order/download as the serian number?

As the programs exist longer than the shop (obviously :)) they have their own algorithms to calculate valid serial numbers - they come from different firms, so the numbers have to be stored in a table (manually) and then are chosen with a select-statement (if order_status == 4 ...fetch serial_id and mail it to the customer and do a lot of insert-statements :))

Hi,

 

I also need a solution for serial distribution with e-mail. Currently runnning a shop which ships hard boxed product to the customer, however due to fact that this is a software, i would like to have them download this and have the ability to send them the serial number after transaction has been verified by authorize.net.

 

Does anyone have any ideal where I can get some help in this? I have seen some contributes but this process must be automatic, where I cannot manually enter serial number everytime transaction is made.

 

I am willing to pay someone who can resolve this headache for me... PM me or reply to this thread.

 

Thanks.
