Hello Scott, I have updated the new database with the additional field for IP address in Users table. I have also checked the crypto library that is being used currently. It is using the standard RSA and MD5 algorithm for encryption and hashing, so I can now use the OpenSSL RSA and MD5 modules for encryption. Regarding the perl interface for OpenSSL, I have found a perl extension module "xsubpp", using which I can implement and call the crypto interface from the perl scripts. But I think I will need some time to convert the existing Windows EchoFree Crypto library to .xs (xsubpp) files. The current Partnership file and Registration file formats are just Ok. I was just confirming whether we need any change in that
