Convert integer to GUID and back

[Tom]

I need to convert an integer to a GUID consisting only of capital letters
and numbers.
I also need to be able to convert it back again.

I would prefer it was somewhat difficult to determine how to convert it
back.

What do I do? :-)

Regards

GUID has a very specific meaning, and what you are talking about is NOT it.
I assume you're trying to implement something similar to Microsoft's CD
keys. There are any number of copy protection algorithms available on the
web. Did you do some searching?

Replace GUID with "code".

No.

web.

Most likely. Irrelevant to the question.

Did you do some searching?

Yes, and nothing came up.

Thanks for your help :-D
