Heya, I know all about the pain in the butt with the reg code.. I've had to re install 3 times for various reasons, and it's a pain to contact them every time.. so, I found an easy way around it. If you copy the cc exe file, then overwrite the new one on the reinstal, it saves your last reg number. So, it's like backing up the poser rsr for when poser kills itself.. this has saved me a lot of hassle for all the system rebuilds since then.. because the first time I bought it and regged it, I got the code in one night, the second time, it took almost a week to get the code.. hence my search for an alternative way before the third try.. lol Just a bit of help for all those cc users!
