Should you apply a language filter to a randomly generated string?
- by Tim
A while back I created a licensing system for my companies new product, as well as all products after this one. As with a lot of licensing systems mine generates codes: 25 character product and registration codes, as well as 16 character module unlocking codes.
My question is, since some parts of these generated codes are random should I apply a language filter to it to avoid any embarrassing language being given to the end users?
I chose to as it was not difficult at all.
But has anyone else ever came across something like this? Any viewpoints as to if it is worth the effort?
