License Key Generator

I have an app where I need to generate a 16 character license key based on
info supplied on the installed machine. Does anyone know of any code,
freeware or fairly inexpensive product?

I don't need this to be super-hack proof...just something that generates a
16 character (more or less is ok) output. I'm not a math guy...so please
don't suggest I write my own Algorithm. In an old VB6 app I was using a
"class(s)" developed by Phil Fresle...but I can't get it to work in
vb.net...something comparable would be great.

Thanks for any insight....
