If Retro already has activator codes (in it's prefs or somewhere) that it knows about
it will automatically assign a "free" activator code to it. And since you can use a
Mac or PC activator code on either platform, it may have given a free "Mac code" to
your PC.
As for the asking for a password to protect the client from being activated by some
other Retro user, that is a fairly new thing. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.
