James:

In my opinion, this problem is intractable -- as long as you rely on manually entered data, and verify it only on your machine, there is really no way that you can ever be 100% sure of the results, because if someone (on their end or yours) makes any mistakes, these errors may well come up with a combination (of feature code and model, etc.) that IS valid ... :-o

SUGGESTION: supply a small simple-to-use "free" program your prospects can download from your company web-site, that gathers the information you need (model, feature code, processor group, etc.) and puts this into some kind of a "coded number" (with check-digits or check-sums) so that if they read it to you over the phone, and digits are dropped or misstated or transposed, etc., your check-digits or check-sums can detect this when you try to key in this "magic number" on your end, to generate license codes.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS TO VALIDATE MANUALLY-ENTERED DATA? THE AUTHORIZATION CODE GENERATOR RUNS ON OUR BOX, AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO ACCESS THE CUSTOMER'S BOX!
