You still haven't explained why you are discouraging customers from buying your products. I have lived the pain, to the point of production failing, and losing revenue from expired keys. There a legal venues when a contract is not being honoured. And, I don't buy your arguments, because of my past experience with key-based solutions. I hope I never need your products, because if I do, I will search for a competitive product that doesn't shaft me (again) with keys. I'm not saying yours does at all. I don't even know what it is. What I am saying is I will not take a chance unless I absolutely have to. Of course, you wouldn't like me as a customer; I have this annoying habit of honouring contracts. BTW, I was not the only one with an opinion against software keys that chimed in on this list. And, to put it on the other foot, if you don't understand why customers hate software keys, then there is no use in me trying to explain it to you (or Dave, or Russell). PS: the crack about the accounts payable department was a cheap shot; it didn't add anything to the discussion. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
