    It's not 5min if you don't want any value to be valid. I wrote one a while back with a few rules in and it was a bit of a pain. I couldn't find anything simple that already did this which surprised me.

    Use Excel. Off top of head;

    Put this in A1,B1,C1,D1:

    =99999*rnd()+1

    Then E1:

    = "40005-" & text(A1,"00000") & "-" & text(B1,"00000") & "-" & text(C1,"00000") & "-" & text(D1,"00000")

    Copy these to as many rows as needed. If that's not quite right, examples in help.

    Can you script stuff? pwgen may be of interest if you can.

    The first group of 5 numbers I choose via the app (this identifies the product - 40005), the rest being unique / randomly generated.

    I would also like to be able to specify how many serials I want, 100, 50,000 etc.

    Not having much luck searching on Google. Anybody know of such an app?
