yes, you get bugged about it around 1x per week, I think. JBuilder bugs you
every time you load it.
AFAIK, it doesn't grab your credit card, molest your cat, or any of the
other things that the MS one is supposed to do - it just takes the key, and
some form of finger print of your machine (maybe, I'm not sure about that
even) and says "add one to the install count for this key" - if it hits 3,
we get notified, I _think_ (not a lot of info has come out on it yet).
then I guess we call you and ask you why you've installed 1 copy of d6
enterprise on 42 machines :)
I would imagine that, to get update s(eg, delphi 6.01 :) ) you need to be
registered. ;-) Big enough carrot for you?
If anyone _is_ paranoid enough about it, I'll see what I can extract from
the people in the US, but seriously, I dont think its an invasion of your
privacy at all - just a way for us to monitor installs of the product
(kinda) so piracy can be kept to a minimum, without using something like
Macrovision SoftDisc (which was going to be used, until it was found to fail
on around 50-60% of beta testers machines!).
