Hi all, I'm about to built in a simple license handler in my ASP.NET
application:

1. I want to specify the licensekey in my web.config:

<mySectionGroup>
<myCustomConfig licenseKey="licensekey here, hashed?">
<newsProviders defaultProvider="MySQLNewsProvider">
<providers>
<add name="MySQLnewsProvider" type="MySQLNewsProvider"/>
</providers>
</newsProviders>
...

2. The licensekey is somehow a hash from the hostname (the customer are able
to type there domainname to buy and generate the licensekey)
3. Inside my code i will decrypt the licensekey and compare it with the
domainname to check credentials.

How would you make the approach?

Thank's in advance!
