Last Names - transition for Full Perm Creators

[Charlotte Bartlett]

Hello @Grumpity Linden

Sorry to page you directly, but am hopeful you wouldn't mind giving us a few bullet points on the above based on the meeting yesterday.

Question:  

•  Full Perm Creators track the names of people licensed to sell the items they purchased from them.  To date most do not track the Avatar Key, just the user name.
• With the name change functionality, is there a method to identify the old "name" for the above user case, or any suggestions you can make to the merchant community on how best to manage?

Thanks in advance.

Charlotte, there is a new LSL function that helps with this: llRequestUserKey

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlRequestUserKey

what we will be able to do is use this function to process our customers names and get their key (uuid) to update our records

when a customer changes their name then this function will return the same key (uuid) as their old/previous name
