I saw quite a neat trick the other day when I bought EagleFiler[1]. Having already used the demo, the program had registered a URI protocol handler, and included a link in the registration email that looked like:
x-eaglefiler://p?n=<my name>&sn=<my serial number>
Mail.app made this clickable, so it would have been unnecessary for me to even copy&paste the details (I didn't actually need to as I'd already registered, ironically by copying the serial off the receipt webpage).
Although, the text in the email makes no mention that I could just click on the link to register the program, so the point of the original article still stands...
