Cricket Coach 2014 Serial Key Fixed Guide

| ID | Requirement | Details | |----|-------------|----------| | FR‑01 | Key Format Validation | Accept only alphanumeric strings of 25 characters, grouped as XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. Reject any other length/character set with user‑friendly error. | | FR‑02 | Secure Local Storage | Store the key in AppData\Roaming\CricketCoach2014\license.dat encrypted with AES‑256‑CBC. Derive encryption key from a per‑machine hardware hash + a hard‑coded salt. | | FR‑03 | Cloud Verification | POST /api/v1/validate with payload "key":"XXXXX‑…", "machineId":"<hash>" . Server returns "status":"valid","expires":"2025‑12‑31","plan":"full" signed with HMAC‑SHA256. | | FR‑04 | Offline License File | Generate a signed *.cclic file (RSA‑2048) containing the same payload as the API response. Client can load this file when internet is unavailable. | | FR‑05 | Automatic Migration | On first launch after update, read legacy registry entry, attempt validation via LVS, then write to new encrypted store and delete old entry. | | FR‑06 | Recovery Flow | Users can request a recovery email by entering their registered email address. Server sends a time‑limited token link that, when clicked, returns a fresh key to the client. | | FR‑07 | Telemetry Opt‑Out | A toggle in Options → “Send anonymised license‑validation telemetry”. Default ON, stored in user prefs. | | FR‑08 | Error Handling | Distinguish between: (a) malformed key, (b) key not found, (c) key revoked, (d) network failure. Show distinct messages and suggested actions. | | FR‑09 | Logging | Log all validation attempts (timestamp, machine hash, result) to a local license.log (rotated weekly). Include a “debug mode” switch for support. | | FR‑10 | Admin Dashboard | Web UI for support staff to query a key, view its status, and manually reset/re‑issue a key (audit‑logged). |
