Okay so This is the code I have in my .cpp file now for the serial number..

  
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

My question is, what am I supposed to do to prompt the user to put in their serial number, and where do I determine the algorithm for the serial number. When I finally do determine that, I will of course not post it on this forum . LOL

Also, shouldn't I see another serial field when I go to the personalize dialog box with the code I have?

Once again I am new to this whole part of it so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Did you call RegisterPlanetXSerial() during C4DPL_INIT_SYS to register the plugin with Cinema?

Matthias

Instead of

case C4DPL_INIT_SYS:  
  if (!resource.Init()) return FALSE; // don't start plugin without resource  
  return TRUE;

do this

case C4DPL_INIT_SYS:

  if (!RegisterPlanetXSerial()) return FALSE;

Otherwise RegisterPlanetXSerial() will never be called.

Here's the result I get when I look in the personalize dialog box.
For some reason, it is saying "StrNotFound" Where do I set the name. And, where do I check to see if the serial number they entered matches what they should enter?

Thanks, Shawn

I am trying to use StringToLong() to convert the serial number to a long so that I can perform an algorithm on it.

For some reason, even though I have included c4d_string.h, I am getting the error.

'StringToLong': identifier not found

Can anyone tell me why this is?
