      Hello,
      let's say, user have registered version X of Cinema and GeGetSerialinfo returns  something like `22904200519, so unique license number is in this case ``00519.

      When he upgrades to version X+1 will the unique license number be the same or does it change?

      (I'm using NFR license and demo versions and I need to know it, so I may adjust licensing of our plugin. Customers wants registration bound to software serial rather than hardware number.)

      Thank you.
      `

          Thank you. Is there any other way to check if it is the same Cinema license?

            Just a quick confirmation, C4DS is right, this part of the license number does not stay constant over major releases.

              Sorry, hadn't seen your follow up post. No, I don't think so. I will double check tomorrow and will get back here, if I should be wrong.

                I would be interested to know this as well, but I honestly suspect there is no relationship between unique numbers of different versions.
                I have had Cinema since R9, and have not seen a consistent unique number while upgrading all the way up to R19.

                  I got confirmation, there's no correlation between the license numbers of different major releases.
