This is where Charles' idea shows merit. A unified license key scheme could avoid some of the pain associated with the subject.
Jon <snip> If we only dealt with 1 ISV, then we'd have few, perhaps no, problems too. But we deal with (at the last count) 57 ISVs, who supply us with several hundred products. Each ISV has it's idiosyncracies, some don't use keys at all, some are very easy to contact and deal with, some others are less so. It all adds up to quite a bit of overhead. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
