My coder modified the backend script. The authorizer will now recognize both serial numbers.

Thanks guys, I can sleep tonight…

Just tried it again and this time I received both numbers. I think reason it didn’t work before was that the method I used to concatenate the “and” and “,” wasn’t correct.

Serial Number(s): z43Fqk4yU2eK and zr3dJdZHQKwc

Anyway, while the second number works fine, the first number doesn’t, so I’m back to square one again. I have contacted my developer and he has suggested to use just one number and then instruct the user to add a standard string prefix to make a second version. He could then work his magic in the authoriser script.

It remains to be seen if it will work, but I’m determined to find a way…

I’m not 100% sure either. I’m not even 10% sure

It appears that only if customers download the product twice can they receive two serials. If that’s the case, they’d have to purchase twice, which is obviously not going to work.

Just to repeat the problem…

I need one digital product to be registered to two separate devices.

I am using serial numbers to authorise this product to each machine ID.

Therefore I need to distribute and store two serial numbers per product download.

Thanks for looking at this.

Worked it out.

The serial key is displayed lower in the email under Details of Product section. For those who may have the same (admittedly rare) issue, I included the {serial_key} tag in the “Directions for the Customer” field of the Manual checkout settings, and added the string “Serial Number” to the eStore_manual_gateway_functions.php file in the code section below…

eStore_post_sale_retrieve_serial_key_and_update($retrieved_product,$item,$item);

$product_key_data .= $product_key;

$body .= “Serial Number: “.$product_key;

$product_specific_instructions =

I want to send out a free digital product to existing customers, but also need to protect against redistribution by including serial key authorisation. I’ve entered the serial keys into the appropriate field of the product settings, and checked the “Redirect to Manual Checkout For Zero Amount Purchase” box.

I have included the {product_specific_instructions} and {serial_key} tags in the “Directions for the Customer” field of the Manual checkout settings because the “Buyer Email Body” field of the email settings specifically says…

“Please note that the manual checkout does not use this email settings (Check the “Directions for the Customer” field in the manual checkout settings section).”

However if I put the tags in this field, they are not sent. What am I doing wrong?

[ozfader]

Unfortunately that doesn’t work. No serial numbers are sent. I think I may have a workaround however by restricting the number of downloads to two per customer from the same link.

Each time they click on the download link they’ll receive a new serial number, but they will only be able to download twice. Am I reading this correctly?

[ozfader]

Aah, thank you.

I’ll put that to the test today.

Cheers,

“Since the serial numbers are entered as comma delimited entries into eStore; does it work if you try entering 2 values for each entry?”

I’m not sure what you mean. Put the comma after TWO numbers? Wouldn’t that just mean one number separated by a space?

In my test, when I put the {serial_key} tag into the email body twice, i got the same serial number twice. See below…

You are authorised to use this product on two devices using the following

serial numbers: xc8ifRjY4g3ido6u and xc8ifRjY4g3ido6u.

I know this is an old thread, but I have a variation to the multiple serial key issue. I have a digital product that requires authorising to the users machine. The {serial_key} email tag works well with one product, one purchase, however in my case, each customer is allowed to install the product on two devices. Therefore, although it’s the same product, it requires two separate serial numbers; one for each device.

The actual procedure for authorisation is as follows…

1. User enters serial number in product’s “SerialNumber” field.

2. Product checks serial number in the authoriser (WP) database.

3. If found, the product will check if machine ID and serial match. If they match, the product will be authorised, otherwise an error “Serial Number not registered to this machine” will pop up and product will be disabled.

4. If not found, the product will check WP eStore database if serial number is valid.

-If serial number is found in eStore database, then it means the product is running for the first time and Serial number/Machine ID will be locked together (authorised) and recorded in the authoriser database. The next time the product checks authorisation it will check for serial validity and MAC ID mismatch.

-If serial number is not found, then the Serial Number is therefore invalid, and an alert will pop up and product will be disabled.

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you. I have sent my programmer a copy of your reply.

[ozfader]

Thanks, that helps greatly. Just to let you know, the email notification from this forum isn’t happening for me. I have to keep checking back for replies.

To answer your question re ‘authoriser’: I’m selling Forex trading software. To prevent sharing, the software is locked to a particular machine or machines using MAC address. My programmer’s explanation below will be better than mine…

After user has paid, you simply send them the serial number which they will enter in EA and on first run EA will check wordpress database for serial number and, if found, it will automatically register (write) serial number and MAC to authorizer database and lock serial/mac number to user’s machine. This will only work if serial number is registered in WordPress sql database so will need to check this to confirm.

Hi, has this been implemented in the stylish squeeze form add-on? Integration into MailChimp lists is a problem at the moment with only one name field.

Thanks…

My host is using a caching control plugin which I can disable if needed, although because the site is content-heavy, the loading times are impacted if I do disable.

The eMember version is 8.8.6. I haven’t yet updated WP to version 4.0 because I wanted to be sure that existing plugins were compatible first.

I have (as I write) discovered another problem now. I’m using BBPress for a forum. Despite being login in to eMember (not WP) I’m unable to view attachments or reply to topics – even those that I started!

I think I have some issue relating to WP users and eMember users. but to be honest, I’m getting a bit confused.

[ozfader]

Got it, thanks…

This works fine for admin, but what about other participants? Is there a way to allow everybody’s uploaded images to pop-up and resize?

Thanks…
