BTW: Obviously the key presented by David is stupidly long. However it is not a problem if one can simply copy it and paste, without typing.

Yes but most of the time the key is either in printed form *OR* some place (PDF) where you can't copy & Paste.

Bad argument. In *this* case it was "copy-paste'able". In other cases I have never seen a key which was 'type-only' and was longer than Windows XP key. I doubt any company which generated 150-chars key would require user to type it.

Well I have never run into 150 character key. But I have run into other window type displays that do not allow copy and you have to manually copy the message so you can re-key it into to the "PMR" its (to me anyway) is on the same level as 150 character key.
I sustain my opinion, that copy-paste of 150 characters is piece of cake. It has nothing to do with other products you experienced, since it is possible to use clipboard here.
From my experience, one of the longest key I typed is WinXP key and 'unnamed' 
product for z/OS which also required to be put in assembler source, then 
assemblation, linking, etc.

Say what you want about documentation but most PC type applications would never conceive of a messages and codes manual.

Completely different topic. However I remember 'Messages and Codes' for Novell Netware v3. Approx 1990. Since it's not Windows software, does it count ? <g>


Most (except for COBOL) IBM products have them.

My OS/2 has not. Did I miss something ?
