jerry-rigged license system with UUID check (preventing more than one installation) and expiration date

Tested against Python 3.9.16 (Anaconda) - Windows 10

jerry-rigged???

From https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jerry-rig jerry-rig - To put together in a way that works, but is contrary to the "norm" or specific directions (instructions)

The serial number system can be cracked easily (which one can't?), but it should be secure enough for any average user.

pip install jerryrigserialgen - if you want to generate serial numbers

pip install jerryrigserialver - if you want to verify serial numbers (client)

from jerryrigserialgen import Serialgenerator, serialgenconfig

# transfer.sh seems to be offline (https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/issues/556), that's why i added this:
serialgenconfig.transfershdomain = 'https://temp.sh'

# Generates serial numbers
# pip install jerryrigserialgen
seri = Serialgenerator(
    product="myproduct",  # Name of the product
    savefolder="c:\\mynicefolder\\new",  # just for the record - files are not needed
    hardcodedpasswort_transfer="topsecret",  # for transfer.sh - must be hard-coded in the app the client uses
    hardcodedpasswort_url="5248614597016233",  # 16 digits to encrypt the URL - must be hard-coded in the app the client uses
    addinformationtoserial=(
        "info1",
        "info2",
    ),  # extra information you want to transmit to the app the client uses
    licensedays=17,  # duration of the license - from today on
    subtract_from_time=0,  # for debugging - to create expired licenses
)
serialnumber, debuginfo = seri.upload()
print(serialnumber) # This is the serial number you are going to give to your client, like: 566978376a4b356956775955427a4779636e533856705a59534d314369387735526e59744230396f6c6771795256675a31365a756947344753616d3757536d5961704f736a362f63506871724a792f3845664d4845773d3d475ac18a6927938b4ede1613058f253e
