Wlscgen: Are "Vendor Id" and "Developer Id" different ?

I have been reading the articles on the SentinelLM and I am getting confused on the Developer Id Vs Vendor Id ? Are these two the same or different ? I am aware that one can get the Ids from computeVendorCode, but I just want to make sure that I understand.

Ofcourse , they are different.

ok, Just making sure. Would this result in invalid license file ? Is there a way / method to convert between these too. Any Explanations ?
I have got the vendorID in eax in the function which has the text "Illegal vendor identification". Though I didnot find the main prog calling "lsapiw32.dll" I used another program lsmon (SentinelLM Application Monitor) to get a breakpoint on the function.

If u have VendorID, u can find DeveloperID, reinstall SLM SDK and make valid license.

How find DeveloperID?
is DeveloperID=SLM SDK SN for VendorID?
or DeveloperID is a DeveID for dongle?

[FoxB]

DeveloperID == SLM SDK SN
DeveloperID != DeveID for dongle

That is indeed correct, you can find these as follows:

1. Developer ID == SLM SDK SN, using SLMkeys.exe - SentinelLM install serial # generator Updated By CrackZ (24/1/2004), or VendorID_to_SerialNum (slmvid2sn.exe + serialID.wri) upped by FoxB on this forum.

2. DevID of the dongle can be found by reading the dongle using Toro's Sentinel Monitor (also available here) or by disasm the application. Typically there is code like this:

PUSH 0FFCC ---> this is the DevID
LEA EDX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-434]
PUSH EDX
CALL <JMP.&sx32w.RNBOsproFindFirstUnit> ---> set a bp here!
AND EAX,0FFFF
TEST EAX,EAX
