I use AuthenticatedLicense on my product and created a program to return the serial number of a key and this works but, it adds one Authentication to the server for that key and My computer.

so, can I get the serial number from an Authenticated License Key without updating the server?

[frankcrowder]

AuthenticatedLicenseProvider provider = new AuthenticatedLicenseProvider();

string key;
key = textBox1.Text; //License Key sent to customer for this product

AuthenticatedLicenseParameters lp = new AuthenticatedLicenseParameters();
lp.ReadFromString(LP); //LP = the LicenseParameters for this product
lp.ProductPassword = "yourproductpassword";
lp.AuthenticationPassword = "yourauthpassword";

EncryptedLicense authLicense = provider.DecryptAuthenticationKey(lp, key);
if (authLicense != null)
{
label1.Text = authLicense.SerialNo.ToString();
label3.Text = authLicense.ProductInfo;
label2.Text = authLicense.LicenseKey;
}

What you've posted should be fine if you want to extract the serial number for use within your own license tracking applications. Obviously however this code should not be included in any client side application code - since it includes the passwords required to generate keys.
