Re: Hash function

Ok, thanks but how can i create serial number that nobody can guess it. for example when i use sha1() every body can examine it too! and so they can create it themselves! what strategy is useful to protect license? I think it is better to add a specific hidden string to request code, instead of user name that is known for a probable jobber user. what do you think about it?
