                                PassGen
                  WISE Installation Software Extension
                         By Solid Oak Software

PassGen is a system that will allow the professional software developer a
secure and effective method for distribution of Shareware, demonstration,
and fully functioning applications using the WISE Installation Software.

Using this system, you will be able to distribute stand alone installation
programs that each will require a unique password from you before installation
can be performed.

This is not simply a password protection program.  By using our DLL with
the WISE Installation software, you can achieve complete control as to where
and when your software can be installed.

The SOSPASS.DLL file will generate a totally unique activation code for each
computer.  The activation code also changes each day.  No two computers will
generate the same code on the same day.  The access password you give the
customer will only work on the one computer and only for that day.  If your
customer tries to install the software on more than one computer it will fail
unless they call you again for another password.


Here's how it works:

1. Add the SOSPASS.DLL to your Wise installation script.

2. Call the SOSPASS.DLL function "GetActivationCode".  An activation code will
   be placed into the variable %ACTIVATIONCODE%.

3. Prompt the user for the password.  You will need to place the variable
   %ACTIVATIONCODE% in the Prompt Description.  Create a variable to contain
   users password called %USERPASS%.

4. Call the SOSPASS.DLL function called "CheckPass".  Pass the parameter
   %USERPASS%.  Start a block if the function returns TRUE.

5. In the block, place your normal installation routines.


What happens:

1. Your customer runs your setup program.

2. Your customer calls you and gives you their activation code.

3. Using the included program, PASSGEN.EXE, you enter the activation code and
   generate the users password.

4. Installation continues normally.

******************************************************************************

      ALTHOUGH THIS COPY OF PassGen IS COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL, YOU
         MUST BRAND YOUR COPIES OF PassGen TO ENSURE THAT YOUR
      APPLICATIONS AND FILES WILL BE ENCODED SO THAT  ONLY YOU CAN
              PROVIDE THE PASSWORDS THAT WILL DECODE THEM.

******************************************************************************

                IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT ACTIVATION CODES.

Activation codes are date and machine sensitive.  The password you 
give your customer will only work for the one application, only on the 
customers computer that generated the activation code, and only on 
the date that the password is given on.  The password you give your 
customer WILL NOT work for any other application, on any other 
computer, or on another day.

       THE DATE ON THE CUSTOMERS COMPUTER MUST BE THE SAME AS THE
          DATE ON YOUR COMPUTER WHEN HE CALLS FOR A PASSWORD.

*****************************************************************************

Files in distribution ZIP file:


SOSPASS.DLL (16-Bit)

  This is the DLL file you will distribute with your setup program.


PASSGEN.EXE

  This is the Windows password generator you will use to generate a password
  for your customer based on the activation code they give you.


BRAND.EXE (DOS Executable)

  You will use this program when you register PassGen.  When you call us
  to register, you run BRAND.EXE and give us the activation code.  We
  will in turn give you a password that will uniquely BRAND your copy of
  PassGen.  Once you have branded your copy of PassGen, no one else
  will be able to activate your programs without your permission, not
  even us.

                             IMPORTANT NOTE

You may use this copy of PassGen for evaulation purposes only.  This copy is
not secure.  To generate secure passwords, you must use the BRAND.EXE program
to embed a unique code in your copies of PASSGEN.EXE and SOSPASS.DLL.  If these
files are not branded, anyone who has a copy of this program will be able to
generate passwords that will unlock your setup program.
