Hi I like to ask about how are the Multiple Passwords working?
Does that mean if I use that system that I’ll have 1000 copies of my Ebook each copy for one password? Or does that mean I’ll have one copy but there are 1000 password to open it?
That is the must confusing subject in Active E-Book Compiler. I read that the password don’t store in the book so where it will be store.
I hope I’ll have clear and understandable for my questions.
Sorry for the wait. I try to wait for the authority(ies) to answer before throwing in my two cents worth, but it's awfully quiet here lately.
Your ebook will open to a possible 1000 passwords, but only one will work on any given machine. The ebook starts, reads your hard drive id, and requests the specific password number (say, password #453) that will open the book on that machine.
Only you possess the list of passwords, and when the user requests their specific number, you return password #453 from the list.
That same ebook will open with a different password on someone else's machine, and the passwords cannot be passed around.
Clear enuff?

I’m still confused; please tell me if this scenario is correct. If I make my book with 1000 passwords then 2 customers download the same book and I’ll gave them the same password so they will open the 2 books with same password, and so on, with each new customer can use the same passwords even if I have 1000 passwords.
I’m still finding this thing of 1000 passwords hard to understand. At any way thanks for your answer.
Ok, two customers download your ebook, and decide to buy it.
The ebook looks at the user's hard drive id, and based on that unique id, picks a number from 1 to 1000.
Each number from 1 to 1000 corresponds to a unique password.
The book on customer #1's pc might ask for password #213, which might be, for example, D9W0053A.
The same book on customer #2's might ask for password #731, which might be, for example, 0V3KM584.
The users may try to share passwords, but they can't. The user's password won't work on other machines (or at least, there's only a 1 in a 1000 chance that it work on their neighbor's machine).
People can pass around the protected ebook, along with their own password, but it won't work on other machines until they purchase and enter their own unique, legitimately purchased password.

Hello Roger,
For first time some I get the logical answer. Why they don’t speak that on the help book that comes with programs?! I’m very thankful for your help. I understand now how the 1000 passwords are working on customers’ PCs. But I still have more questions, here is the first:
How shall I know about what password the ebook needs? And shall the customers know about the number also?
Now I think, if I can put script in the book to send contact a script on my site to have the password and the access is protected by specific system to let only those whom paid to pass. I read about clickbanck but I don’t use it now. I want to work with papal for the moment. I found it hard to make purchase page and thanks page for each password, I want to work with 1000 passwords with one thanks page and with paypal. I hope that possible.

Yes, that is an excellent idea. There are several ways it could be done, and I suspect you could find a good one.
You can get the password number manually, or programatically:
When you click on the password button, a dialog box pops up that says 'Enter password ____ for this ebook.'
There is also an Activ variable, {p} . Your help manual says this about it:
"{p} Indicates the number of the password that is used to unlock this E-Book. If no passwords are present, this will be expanded into an empty string. "
some other helpful variables you can use are:
"{iscorrectpassword} 1 if the correct password has been entered, 0 if not.
{ispasswords} 1 if there are passwords in the E-Book, 0 if not.
{user} The 5 digit user ID of the current user. "
cool, huh? Sunil did a very nice job building it...

It’s look good, but I need more information about that subject. I’m working now to understand the paypal procedures and I’ll try to integrate it with my site. I have 3 things I need to deal with:
My book. My website. My account with papal.
The big question is; how I can put all of these 3 things into one system. I’m learning Perl now so I hope that I’ll find the proper way. I’ll do more search and I’ll ask again soon.
There are also some PHP scripts for ClickBank atwww.ebookcode.com(scripts section)
Now you might be able to adapt that for PayPal, or at least the general idea
Or if you prefer to use a ready-to-go script, there are a number available. Search for old threads on this board containing passwords.
The ones I specifically remember are:
1. EBookCompiler APS (should be able to find old threads on this board about this)
2. Hyperlock (again has been discussed on this board before)
3. There's a perl script, that somebody wrote and sell via clickbank. I forget the name, but know it was mentioned in the newsletter. Check the board announcements page, and scroll thru all the old post (maybe use Find in your browser to search that page for Passwords)

Thanks for you Sunil for these info. I’ll look to find more about these scripts. And I’ll look for clickbanck after I’ll start my business, I’ll use more ways for paying to give my customers more options.
One more question about the 1000 passwords, who possible for me to know about the number of the password of each book when my customer start the ebook on his PC? Is there any way to make the book to contact specific script in my site? I’m thinking to make that signori:
When my customer start the book for first time, the book will active a script to send a request to my website to ask for the password with the number. Then my site will enter the password automatically in the book so the book will be open automatically in same time when every thing is correct. I want the customer to enter his email account that he used to make his purchase to confirm that he is a customer. Like that my customer need just to type his email account only, so he will know nothing about the password or any thing else.
I’m learning Perl for the moment to make that system with Perl scripts. I read that active complier support some scripts. So in your opinion, do you think that system is possible?
I would like to use the active complier to make my books. But I have one last problem and I hope I’ll find the answer for my problem here. I don’t have my own connection to access the net so I’m using public shops (internet café). I download the program in one shop then on CD and I installed it on my PC. Now I need to register that book. I’ll try to do it like this:
I’ll copy my user ID then I’ll pay money by using any PC in any shop, when I have the registration key I’ll copy it and I’ll use it in my PC to activate the program. That means I’ll do all that without connecting my PC to the net.
I would like to know if this possible, and look forward to hearing from you soon.

It would be a really problem if you are going to be switching PCs to this extent, as I said in the email

How you can get that HDD ID number. Can you tell me how is the whole selling process works. As I understand, at first, customer pay you to have the right for download your ebook into his PC. Than you'll send his a password. But how do you know the HDD Id number. Does your ebook collect it end send to you?

For passwords, the recommend (but not the only) process is
1. Customer downloads a free trial version
2. Trial version has some password protected pages
3. Customer clicks a link on one of these pages, this is where {p} comes in, it passes the password id to your site
4. You sell the customer the product and give them the password corresponding to password number {p}
