CREATE TABLE `glpi_plugin_myregistration_keys` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `registration_key` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `is_active` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
  `expiration_date` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `max_uses` int(11) DEFAULT '0', // 0 = unlimited
  `current_uses` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `entities_id` int(11) NOT NULL, // Which entity the user should belong to
  `profiles_id` int(11) NOT NULL, // Which profile (e.g., Self-Service) to assign
  `comment` text,
