krazik: "You guys are too funny. Not one of you has seen it and you assume it's gonna be a huge inconvenience. :shakes head: If you have a web connection it take less than a minute to unlock your app." krazik, i'm nor assuming it, i know it. the trouble is that those times add to one another, as i described above. and it is inconvenient. due to heavy data income, i do clean install on my pcs every 9-12 months and i loose every time 2-3 days for those absurd confirmation stuff before everything starts working as normal. we have to make installs by ourselves, as i can't let anyone from outside handle our serial numbers and auth. codes. it means usually i have to do it during weekends and mostly wait for confirmation monday through tuesday. i know that cl didn't invent these system but i just hate this big brother stuff. how about this: you deliver ordered software and you get from me instead of money a letter with my telephone number. then you call me and i tell you from which bank you may get my money from. if you don't call within 30 days, that info becomes obsolete and you must call me again. silly, huh?
