You can specify how many quantity you have for a particular product in the “Inventory Control” section of a product and eStore will stop selling that item when it runs out.
Alternative solution:

You could do the following (it sounds a little complex but if you setup one product as an example and try it out you will get the point):
1. Setup a pay per view for your stand alone HTML pages. Check the “Old Pay Per View Method” from this page:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/setting-up-pay-per-view-option-using-wp-estore-plugin-1066
When you use this method the URL of your stand alone HTML page will be masked so the viewer won’t see the true URL.
2. Now, all you need to do is let the members access the content. So, create a WordPress page called “Members only Content” (you can call it whatever.. I am just giving an example)
3. Place the following shortcode on that page:
[wp_eStore_download_now_button id=1]This shortcode will display a button called “Download now” (you can customize this button). When you click on this button it generates an encrypted link on the fly for product 1 (assuming 1 is the product ID of the product you created in step 1) and let the user view the presentation (the URL of the actual page will be hidden).
4. Finally, protect this “Members only Content” page using eMember so only your members can see the content and interact with that button that lets them view the presentation without actually knowing the true URL of the stand alone HTML page.
It’s not just a matter of eStore generating a random registration key. If eStore generates a random serial key and send it to your customer will your software accept this key? Most likely not.
Most softwares that use a serial key usually have an algorithm to generate the key so that a script can generate a valid serial key. So the first think you need is a PHP script that will generate registration key in the way that your software will accept it. Once you have that part done you can do some custom tweak in eStore so that it can utilize this script to generate a key after the purchase and send to the customer.
This post will explain the eStore product categorization in more details:

However, both options can only work from the same WordPress install. You can’t go cross domain… meaning you can’t mix products from one domain with products from another domain (WordPress doesn’t let you show categories from one domain in another domain). Use eStore on your main domain and have all the products there or run 3 different eStore installs on 3 of your WordPress sites.
When you get redirected to your site after the payment what value do you see in the URL? copy and paste the stuff from the address bar.
Did you get automatically redirected after you clicked the “pay” button on PayPal (there is a 10 second redirection countdown timer when the auto redirect happens)) or did you have to click some other link to return to your site?
PayPal always includes the address if the customer provides it or he paid via his PayPal account (PayPal knows the address from his account data in that case). This does not mean that the customer was forced to give the address at checkout time.
Yes, check the extra shortcodes plugin from here which should have a display popular products shortcode:

Couldn’t you use the “Collect Customer Input” field of the product?
This field allows you to collect some customer input for the product.
What value do you have in the “Membership renewal Page” field of eMember settings?
This post will explain more on the shortcode nesting issue:
If you do not use PayPal profile based shipping and the checkout doesn’t have any shipping cost involved then eStore tells PayPal to not force a shipping address collection.
If all the items in the cart are digital then the plugin won’t force an address collection. It will just prompt for one (but that is optional). There is a small tweak you can apply to make it so it doesn’t even prompt for an address.
The following post should be helpful if you want to completey turn off the shipping address collection on PayPal checkout:
