Selling a show - adding a serial number?

[Thoman]

I have created my 2007 PPT show, got it to work in 2003, used "Publish -
package for CD" to get the PPS file onto a flash drive. Whew. Now, time to
sell it and watch the money roll in (fingers crossed, anyway). What I want
to do is to provide a serial number for a License. So I could make a unique
password for every show I sell, but what if someone gets 2 licenses?
Requiring a serial number to activate a program seems to be quite prevalent,
but I can't find information about HOW to do this. I would appreciate any
recommendations.

I should also say that I would be just as happy with setting up something
that makes it appear as there there is some sort of check occurring.

Thank you Steve

You can "serialize" each individual powerpoint file by making the serial number
the password. Pretty tedious.

I don't know of any other way of doing what you want other than having custom
software written for you.
