Serial number generator

[Cliphead]

I'm looking for an app that can generate serial numbers to a specific format something like;

40005-12345-54321-09876-34567

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?

Why not code one yourself. Doesn't look like more than 5 mins coding. How the serial works will mostly depend on how you want to put some checksums in there to stop it being cracked. Once you've worked that out the rest is easy.

I'm not a coder.

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

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.

Actually A1-D1 you need

=int(100000*rand())

Otherwise works ok.

It will change values when you open so for record cut n paste generated list as text.

Well done that man

Exactly what I was looking for

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.
