License code challenge-response-routine

If you buy a SITE or SITE COLLECTION scoped license, you must provide a challenge code to receive the license.

This challenge-response-routine is used to ensure this license is not used for more than one site or site collection.

Se user manual for details on how to generate this challenge code.

Currently SharePoint 2007 does not use this challenge code. If you buy a license for use with SharePoint 2007, please let me know when you request the code.
