I don't have the plug-in verion of Creature Creator, so my info here may not apply, but I think that it might, so, if you have not purchased the program yet you may want to consider this: I have the standalone version of Creature Creator and I like the program, but I have a BIG warning for anyone who is interested in the product: The REGISTRATION number for the product (without which it will NOT work!!!!!!) is tied to the computer that you installed it on!!! That same registration number will not work on any other computer!!! And, if you make some modifications to the original computer and then have to reinstall Creature Creator, the original registration number MAY no longer work even on that computer!!! So, no problem, so long as you never make any significant changes to your current computer and you never buy a new computer. Of course, they'll always give you a new registration number for your new computer, won't they? Probably, but go to their web site and look at what kind of detailed documentation they want from you if you buy a used copy of the program (from a previous user). They really don't trust you. But what happens if you buy a new computer and the company has gone out of business??? You're SOL!! Or what if they just don't like you? I made some criticisms of their product many moons ago (this very subject: the registration number; ClintH may remember my postings), and now they won't respond to my email messages about their new upgrade. (They have responded REAL fast if they don't know it's me; but when I identify myself I never get a response.) So I ask you, when I need to re-register my old version (I just bought a new computer), will they send me the new registration code or just ignore me???? I don't know yet. Let the buyer beware!! bitplayer
