You can pop up a license when your DMG launches. A lot of apps used to do this, mine included. It's a bit 2004-ish, but if you need agreement for a license, that's one way. As a alternative, just pop up a license window when the app first launches. That's how iTunes does it. I don't worry about it anymore--the license is in the help docs of my apps. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com
