I'm not sure what the answer to the warez dilema is. If I did, I'd probably be on my way to becoming rich. However, after debating the issue here for a while, my final thoughts on the matter are this. 1. If this security code thing is used, that is fine with me, provided: a - it is only needed once, b - that if CL goes under, a patch or code is given to unlock the program for good, c - that getting the security code is easy and not a pain to consumers. 2. Hardware dongles are a pain in the ass. I'd rather not see that way used, as it has also proved uneffective. (cracked dongle files) Dragontales
