I think you could in this way... Set the "SerialNumberTemplate" to Where first 12 % symbol represents digit of the IP Address of the PC and last % symbol is the digit which makes the addition of IP Address digits and this digit divisible by 7.'#' Symbol in this template is don't care (as usual) I mean, suppose IP Address is 10.231.140.175 Firstly standardize this IP Address to 010.231.140.175 format Then fill any digit on don't care places (i.e. #'s) Here we filled our don't care numbers 5, 4, 6 and 2 respective blocks Now you need to think a digit for the last % symbol Our IP address total is 0+1+0+2+3+1+1+4+0+1+7+5 = 25 So last digit could be '3' that makes % digits divisible by 7 In this way, serial code would be: 5 010 . 231 4.6 140 . 175 2- 3

Now days, serials are kind of useless, since it is so easy to hack a software. Doesn't matter if you pack it(protect), or not, people can fix the ipx dump. In .net apps, they can use reflector with reflexil plugin and edit code of an exe, and eve debug it via ASM with ollydbg with the appropriate plugin if it's .net. So, what I recommend, rather than serial, would be making the file depend on the internet to work. A simple example would be this using system.net;: try { WebClient Client = new WebClient(); Client.DownloadFile("http://2wheelsgonewild.com/ebay/marone.txt", "marone.txt"); } catch { MessageBox.Show("ERROR: Could not download instruction table.
Please check FTP server, is the server down???","Error Connecting To Server",MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Error); this.Close(); } Which means, if the software can NOT download that file (marone.txt), it will close on startup. Just put that code in the form load.. But again, the person could still hack it regardless of any protection.
