Randall:
You state that your registry is "a mess at times" and you use registry editor to clean it "as best you can" and that those who buy this software should "deal with it". That is no solution at all. It is indeed a hassel to get a new key each time a hard reset is done. It is not for you to dictate why and when users of these devices should do this.
By the way, 49% is not a "selected few"
I think you are encouraging the piracy of this software by displaying such an attitude.
In reply to the posts on keygens, this is not 3D Studio Max(dongle checking), it's a $14 Pocket PC program. Look at what the program does when it registers. What changes does it make and where does it store them. How can you save and restore that info. If your key will not work with the original program you downloaded then the system date(clue)or device serial number is being used during the install. This changes the key required each time the program is installed. A keygen would work but why bother... think about it.
and Randall....
Before someone simply removes the reg routine from the program and publishes a "light" version of it,
you should loose the attitude and work with the users. Remember Microsofts bullet proof XP Professional protection scheme ? 'nough said.
