One small problem: Your serial number isn't long enough,

Windows XP serials are 25 characters long (5X5) , and Adobe serials are 24 characters (6X4) long...also you need a barcode. :)

PS-could you make a Kubuntu one? :popcorn: :lolflag:

Try using the 3of9 barcode font for the actual barcodes :)

This is definately worth a thank you Button. Are these stickers under a licence?

Lol. All right. I just wanted to know. So, not even the GPL?

That's fine. You may wish to include that somewhere else, like the OP and the site and/or the pics themselves.

What - where?

I got the idea when I was trying to peel the Windows COA off of my now Ubuntu-powered OptiPlex server.

Yeah I'll say GPLv3.

How about the Creative Commons license Share, share alike, noncommercial, or GPL v2?

The reason I say this is because GPLv3 (and 2) require you to give the source code. Like the .xcf file for GIMP. Also, GPLv3 requires you to use only things under the GPLv3 license, even things under the GPLv2 are not admissible. So, if a font was GPLv2... well, you get the idea.

Sorry for confusing you. Just something to look at.

Switched.
Sorry I'm pretty new to "licenses" and such. I'm usually a pretty informal person.
