Registration system

[Bill]

There are points to be made for boths sides - yes, the user is responsible for the hard reset and getting a new key and yes, Dan is responsible for making the application that he sells more user friendly.

I have owned it for some time now and have asked for keys 4-5 times. I have given up. My EM-500 backup battery goes dead and I must re-install. I don't necessarily have the ability to get to a computer to get a new key for some time as I have the app on my ram card (mm). I have actaully stopped using the application cause it's too much of a pain for me.

I would like to see a registration system - of keys generated by Dan, that relies on a lot of personal information (Name, Email, phone number) rather than the alternative.

The other option is for Dan to make an installer with this personal information hard coded and therefore if they hand it out, he knows where it came from.

Just had to put my 2 cents in on this one.

But, you see. This method is uncrackable, atleast to my knowledge. And it's not that hard to get a new key. Dan replies usually within the hour. And if you lose your key while you're away, well then that wasn't because of some program defect.

I don't want to interrupt your little discussion about the copy protection scheme ... but:

-=-=NiRV PROUDLY PRESENTS=-=-
DEXPlor v1.30 by DEX Software *CRACKED*
RELEASE SIZE: [01/01] RELEASE DATE : [07.23.2002]

-----------------------------------------
So Dan can now invent a new protection scheme and everyone will be happy. (I hope so.)

Oh, just wanted to say that I am a registered user of DEXplor for some time now. Although it's somewhat slow on startup, I just had no nerve to wait for this crack.

Have phun.

Send Dan the crack so he can fix it. I mean, this piece of software does EVERYTHING for $12 ! Is that so hard?

[LOL]

Hmm. Between PayPal, eSellerate, PocketGear and even acceptance of money orders / cashier checks, I would think one could find a suitable method of purchasing DEXplor.

I think you mistyped, perhaps you really meant:
"$12 isn´t hard for most people, but me paying someone for their effort is bullshit!!"

I do have a "cracked" 1.0 version of DEXplor. The readme file in the crack fails to mention that they were only to enable a few configuration options, and that plugins will not work with the cracked version. Plugins represent the bulk of the real value of the registered version over the shareware version (besides the fact that people actually register software for moral reasons, which of course is worth a higher, more personal value).
