Hi Dark, Glad you like the new additional difficulty in Beta 4. I found it is quite fun myself, and the game is a whole lot more challenging on any skill level you play. As for the games product keys I am still programming the necessary registration system for the game. Though, I think it will be pretty secure. I won't go into great detail how it works, but basically the game will give you a four digit license number you will email to me which will be used for the purpose of generating your product key based on your computer's specific profile. I'll send you a product key which you will enter into the game,and the game will create a license file which you can back upt to cd, floppy, etc for future installs. In case anyone asks that license file will be computer specific so don't think you can just email it out to person x, drop it in and it will run. The license file contains specific data about the computer licensed, and it won't unlock the game unless the specific computer profile matches. Personally, I hate being this drakonian about license keys, but I know if I don't lock a product key to a specific computer there will be pirates out there sharing keys, cracks, etc and I'm not going to give them that pleasure, or make it that easy for them.
