I've already sent a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking for just that (and I explained who I was, etc., although I didn't include my serial number). I'm up and running again, thanks to some really nice folks here, but I'd still like a copy of my actual key sent to me so that I can take it down to the bank and put it into my deposit box. > Just a note: guys at RL are not sick. They protect their investment. I have no problem whatsoever with software companies protecting their investments. I'm with you a 100% on that matter. I'm not even against nag screens. But *your* nag screen policy could only have been designed by the Marquis De Sade himself. Whoever designed it is, in effect, saying that "I'm going to drive this poor SOB so freakin' crazy with nag screens that he'll either pay up quick (which is like saying that you don't really have a 30 day "trial period" after all), or you'll drive him completely away (and lose a sale). That doesn't sound very customer oriented to me. A nag screen for a "free" 30 day trial should appear, at most, each and every time the user opens the program -- not hundreds and hundreds of time per day., for crissakes. Not to mention the real cutesy trick of continually switching the sides on the "Exit" and "Okay" buttons, which only reinforces what I said about this guy being a sick0. Either you want people to actually put TB through its paces for 30 days, or you don't. But driving folks NUTSO with nag screens is just so sick, IMO. > When layers, doctors etc. will work free, But lawyers, doctors, etc. aren't trying to sell you SOFTWARE. A better comparison would be new car salesman. "Here, buddy, take this model out for a test drive and see how you like it! I have to tag along with you though, and slap you upside the head with a fish every several seconds. My boss doesn't think you'll buy the car if I don't." Give me a break. -- Best regards, Jack ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
