This option allows key generation for some selected e-commerce providers. If your provider is not listed here, you can always use the web service for key generation.

Your can create Serial Numbers and Activation Keys but not special keys like Unlock Keys.

 

 

 

 

Step 1 - Retrieve Shop URL

Select the online shop in the list box and click on the button: Show URL. It displays a URL which you need for the setup within the shop / ecommerce provider.

 

Step 2- Configure a product

Select the product name for which you want to generate keys. If the product consists of modules / features you  have to select a module. If a Serial Number or an Activation Key is generated depends on the settings of the module.

 

Shop ID

Each product in your web shop has an article ID or product ID / number which is referenced here as shop ID. Login into the shop system to get the shop ID.

 

Valid number of days

If the module is defined as a Serial Number then the number of days logic depends on the defintion whether the module is a time limited full version (subscription) or a perpetual license. For more details see Create a Serial Number.

 

 

Expiry Date

Add an expiry date. Normally you want to calculate an expiry date depending on the order date. This is possible by using +days instead of a real date.

 

Example: You sell a subscription where the license should expire 1 year after the order date. Use +365 in the Expiry Date field

 

Network license

If the key should be a network license then check this option. The quantity of the shopping card is then added in the field: number of licenses in the Serial Number / Activation Key

 

Single user license

If you sell a single user license there are 2 options:

 

•One key per order. This creates one single Serial Number / Activation Key which can be used on multiple computers. The number of computers are defined from the quantity in the shopping card.  The field Maximum Key / ID usage is set to this value

•Multiple Keys per order. This creates one Serial Number / Activation Key for each quantity in the shopping card

 

 

If you have multiple articles for one product in the shop system, the shop IDs are displayed per product / feature on the right side. Click on one shop ID to change configuration values.

 

 

Keys created through a shop are displayed in the field Created with the user name: Web Service

Step 3 - Configuration within the shop / E-Commerce system

 

The configuration setup is explained for each supported shop system.

Add a key generator (Products & Marketing / Key Generators) with exactly the same settings you find in the screenshot below. The link in the field path: is the URL you created in Step 1 - Retrieve Shop URL

 

 

 

Now you have to add for each product / article the key generator specification within Delivery Details

 

•Delivery Type: Activation-Server4 (name of the key generator you specified above)

•Key result type: Auto

•Execute once per purchased item: Unchecked

•Use key template: Checked

 

 

 

 

 

The last step is to define the text for the key template within Delivery Text. Find below a sample text. The variable <Key> is required. It will  add the the generated key in the e-mail.

 

The Serial Number Key is your 'proof of purchase'. It can be used only once and requires an Internet connection.
