You know how you usually type in serial code numbers
while installing videogames and software?
Well why not include a 2D barcode, alongside the printed
serial code.
With this 2D barcode, you can optionally use your
webcam during install to quickly and accurately enter
your serial number.
This
would reduce the hassle of entering serial codes,
especially if its a long serial number. Hence reducing
customer irritation.

Ah, but wouldn't this be a much more customer friendly and hassle-free experience? Not likely to be adopted then, is it! + |

Brilliant. If this doesn't get implemented in the next system I buy, I'll be shocked. |
|
| |
Love this! Especially for those times when I can't tell if it's
an "O", or an "0". Bun! |

<rant> Who is the nitwit who decided that all serial
numbers be typed in 6pt font? </rant> |

^it's to keep old people from stealing software. Discrimination that is. |

And from reading medicine bottle labels. Which gives me
an idea.... [+] btw |

Good idea+. I wonder if the serial number, together with the
hologram sticker could be used to verify the software originality,
by looking for the change in the image during rotation? Bar code
hologram with two barcodes which swap? |

If it's proprietry recognition software, it wouldn't need to be a standard code, you could use anything recognisably unique or of course it could just read the number. For games, I'd use something themed to the game, like a DNA strand for Resident Evil, a galaxy for a space game, etc. |
|
| |
good idea marklar, however I doubt it could be in
colour. This is since colour 2d serial codes (e.g. DNA
strands) are way more expensive to customise than
black and white serial numbers (or black and white 2d
barcodes) |
