# Step 1.4: Retrieving the name and the e-mail of a user

Let's start with simple things. We want to get the name and the e-mail of a user from a serial number to show them in the About window (or anywhere else). To do this, we have to add two more lines to our ini-file:

    [TestLicense]
    AcceptedSerialNumber=Xserialnumber
    UserName=John Doe
    EMail=john@doe.com

And in the program, if the registration is successful, we obtain these data and output them to the screen:

    VMProtectSerialNumberData sd = {0};
    VMProtectGetSerialNumberData(&sd, sizeof(sd));
    printf("name = %ls,\ne-mail = %ls\n", sd.wUserName, sd.wEMail);

The structure contains UNICODE data, so printf() uses %ls specifiers instead of %s. The program should print the following text on the screen:

    state = 0
    We are registered.
    name = John Doe,
    e-mail = john@doe.com
