I'm a newbie. I am preparing to sell software using the shareware => registration model. I would like to setup something on my Drupal site to capture customers' data when they want to purchase the registered version. I want this module to:

(1) validate their email;
(2) generate a software key based on their email address; then,
(3) place all the customer data into an XML file on my server for my outsourced software fulfillment vendor (BMT Micro) to pickup in order for them to bill the customer and email to customer the download information for the full registered version using the software key I generated.

Does anything already exist to handle this type of process? If not, how could I create it on my own with my limited php programming experience?

This module http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/1899 is a great start.

This module is quite a bit outdated. Only a version 5 module, i need it for a client as well. Taking up the gambit and updating it to be D6 compatible, will be looking into opening a project page on drupal org with in the week or so.

I have a solution that is kind of working, but I need to sit down and go through and do all the coder stuff to it as well as cleaning up a few errors on it. It is going to be a part of some other project I will be working on in the near future, but if you want or need to see it sooner I would consider speeding up things with the help of a code bounty.

Wouldn't UberCart and registration codes http://drupal.org/project/regcode get everything the OP wanted? The only problem I see is making the code based on the users email address, which seems like a bad idea anyway. Better to associate the email with a unique random code I say.
