Usergroups enabled by key-checking?

Hello.

I'm running a vbulletin with about 34,000 active members for a game-development company.

In order to make sure registered customers get better service, we were planning to give them access to a special forums. The idea I had was to give those people a special additional user-group that grants access.

The idea was to have them enter a "cd-key" thats provided with the box we ship, and then have some utility on the forum-server check a local database if it is a valid key and then grant them the additional usergroup.

Anyone got any hints for how to do it?
