OK, so does that mean by using:
GeGetSerialInfo(SERIAL_CINEMA4D, &si)... to get the 101xxxxxxxx serial number and comparing it to the plugin serial number retrieved from my posted function code, the plugin will still register, but every seat on the multi license will be able to register and use the same plugin serial number?
Adios,

As far as I see it you need no to be concerned about the 101xxx number.
Just check if it's a multi or single license (mulit will result in an empty string).
If multi use the string returned with GeGetSerialInfo(SERIAL_MULTILICENSE, &si) to bind your plugin serial to. This is a 20xxxxxxxxxxx number (201xxxxxxxxxx for <R12, 202xxxxxxxxxx for R12 afaik).
If it's a single license use the string returned by GeGetSerialInfo(SERIAL_CINEMA4D, &si) to bind your plugin serial to.
Make sure to use Read/WriteRegInfo for multi licenses and Read/WritePluginInfo for single licenses.

Howdy,
Well, I wanted to allow 1 plugin serial number to be used for all of the seats in a multi license, instead of making each seat pay for a separate plugin license. That's why I'm so interested in getting the 101xxxxxxxx number from within each seat.
Adios,

Adios,
Cactus DanThe 20xxxxxxxxxxx stays same for every seat. This is the number your customer is sending you. It tells you how many licenses he owns. What you do with that number is up to you

Howdy,
OK, let me see if I have this straight.
Say a customer has a 5 seat multi license, then his first 11 digits would be 201005xxxxx, each seat would return that number using:
GeGetSerialInfo(SERIAL_MULTILICENSE,&si);... and the "xxxxx" part of the number would be the same for each seat, so my plugin's serial number needs to be generated from that 201005xxxxx number?
Sorry for all the nit picky questions, but I don't have access to a multi license for testing.
Adios,

Yes, GeGetSerialInfo(SERIAL_MULTILICENSE, &si) returns the same number for each seat of a multi license, for example 201005xxxxx.

I have a follow up question on this one that needs clarification. In a license server environement, if I wanted to restrict my plugin licensing NOT to all seats, but only allow single seats in that environment am I right to assume that GeGetSerialInfo(SERIAL_CINEMA4D,&si) will anyway retrieve the seats individual c4d serial number?
It would be great if I could get an answer to this within 24 hours as my client wants to buy but has to start using the plugin within the next 24 hours.
Thanks in advance

The serial returned by GeGetSerialInfo(SERIAL_CINEMA4D,&si) in a multi-license environment is always identical an all machines. Unfortuantly there is currently no mechanism to restrict plugin licenses to single seats when using the license server.
