How to access current order from custom serial key provider?

[poconnell]

How can I get access to the current order from within a custom serial key provider?

In my store, the SAME digital good is available with 1 and 12 month subscriptions and this needs to be reflected in the assigned key.

My experiments show that the DigitalGood provided in the Initialize method is simply a reference into the catalog as a whole and provides no means to navigate to the actual order being placed/activated.

Am I missing something? Is there a "global" way to access the active order (via HttpContext perhaps?)

Thanks for any suggestions,

Pete

According to this thread, the order is not easily accessible (I'm thinking it is not accessible at all in the current build).

According to bug 7047, there will be a new AcquireSerialKey overload in 7.1 that provides access to the order item (and order, etc). The notes suggest that they may send you a private hotfix with the new overload if you request it.

Thanks Andy.

I hadn't seen that bug report/discussion - but it sounds like that hotfix is what I needed.
