Key Generator Addon
Permalink
I am thinking about making a "Key Generator" addon for the marketplace. This would create keys that are similar to what you might see for accessing commercially licensed software.
Example: KEYX-19N3-57ZV-IB2J-GHZA-5917-XKEY
Below is my concept:
- Can auto-generate a key, or hand-write one
- Time sensitive key
- Custom format
- Generate many keys at once
What do you think? How much interest is there in this? Any ideas?

So, maybe like an add-on for eCommerce?
I guess the downside to that would be that it would also require purchasing the Digital Downloads addon as well.

Not really. Although the e-commerce could be a way forward. You shouldn't need it just to make a time limited download via key url and it may not necessarily be a payment product.
I'm thinking more of the "file" block which you could generate keys for. Lets see.....thinking on the fly here.....
You place a "GrowTheCurve File Block" (which is just a modified normal file block) on your page. When someone clicks on it they have to enter a key (the acceptable keys can be generated in edit mode for the block or maybe the Admin panel might be a better place). If the entered key hasn't expired and is a valid one; the download begins. Additionally, if someone accesses the file url directly and appends a key (you may have sent it to them via email) then the file download also begins (assuming validity etc).
This would enable you to have very simple and easy to manage digital downloads via keys by just placing a block on a page without all the product pages, shopping cart and other stuff you may not need.
Just a thought.......

Not quite sue what you have in mind here.
If it just generates a random key. That's not particularly exciting or useful (IMHO). However, if it generates a key url for time sensitive digital downloads that can be emailed to customers (so they can download the file), then that is very exciting.
