Just what is going on when you "brand" your programs? I mean all I've ever done
was to simply type the serial number and the "activation key" and sometimes
a typo (it'll tell me thank god) and the software runs after a bunch of disk
munching. What does brand do? What happens if you run an un"brand"ed file?
