So I take it there is no kind of legal repercussion for someone else using your serial number? If they steal it and you've got it registered are you held liable? Why would that variable even be accessible in CF anyway? Why on earth would you ever need to output that information?

Anyone really wanted to beat the system to visit alt.binaries.warez.*, any number of websites, or any number of IRC channels (not to mention FTP sites, etc.). Point is, while I can't really think of a legitimate reason for needing access to the serial number, it doesn't really make life any easier for someone interested in "leeching warez." -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Robertson [mailto:matt@;mysecretbase.com] > Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 4:49 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: CF Question > > > Never thought of that.
