Hello,
I'm not sure if i understand right, but you want to have a dialog and let the user enter a key. ok, lets use the is7 sdregisteruserex dialog like this:

Dlg_SdCustomerInformation:
szMsg = "";
szTitle = "";
nResult = SdRegisterUserEx( szTitle, szMsg, szName, szCompany, szSerial );
StrToUpper ( svUpper , szSerial );
szSerial = svUpper;
if (nResult = BACK) then
goto Dlg_SdLicense;
endif;

So you have the dialog and gets the szSerial back from the dialog

you can declare a funtion e.g. CheckUserID and call ist with

CheckUserID(szSerial);

inside the function you can check if the key is correct
if it is correct just return without doing anything and the setup will continue.
if the key is incorrect you can display a message box with

MessageBox("incorrect - setup will exit!", SEVERE);
and then exit the setup with

exit;

I hope it is the answer to your problem.

yes..you can do it by calling the function RegDBKeyExist()... this will check if you have the same registry key or name in the system registry exist.
