Rain Activation

I’m also having a problem with inserting a wrong id number can you assist
 
I still don't understand how people can accidentally insert the wrong ID number. SA ID numbers have a check sum, like credit cards. If you mistype your credit card number, it would be rejected.

SA ID numbers have a check sum. Rain should implement the check sum so that an incorrect ID number is rejected.

When using your credit card, if you change 1 digit, the card is rejected. A similair procedure can be used on ID numbers and is done so by many businesses in SA.

Edit: Double-check what you type before you submit. Solution?

Evidently rain uses a plain text field with no checks.
