I realize you didn't ask for my guess about this, but... I think it was a
misguided attempt to do things like know the size of the user base, keep
users informed of updates, etc.
so will probably be using 6.0.2 on various Debian derivatives, and will
get my wife to translate a note for the parents
as to how they have to do the online Reg. at home for the kiddos on
their Windows boxes (this because I cannot work out
where the licences should go in Windows; especially XP).
Try C:/Documents and Settings/<user>/Application Data/RunRev/Licenses
Now, when I go to C:\Documents and Settings\RM on my XP install on
VMware Player 5.0.2
there is NO "Application Data" folder, which is 'gae queer' to say the
least.
When I make a new folder and try to call it 'Application Data' XP makes
a funny noise and
tells me that folder already exists; so it must be hidden in some way
(and, unlike Linux, one
cannot just go "show hidden files") . . . Aha, gottit . . . but will the
Mummies and Daddies
who haven't a clue about computers? not exactly obvious.
-------------------
On my Windows 7 install (similarly on VMware) I end up with something
entirely different from what
you describe:
(and it took a bit of pissing around to find this)
C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\RunRev\Licenses
----------------------
Does this mean that there are a number of possibilities re Windows 7
(that's an ugly thought) ?
