What is wrong with the scheme used by Claris, Microsoft, and Symmantec's MORE
product for the Mac??? They just ask you for your name the first time you
boot the software. IT imbeds your name and Company in it. Every time you start
it, it tells you who you are. Although this is easy to bypass (copy it before
you run it.) It still works. Anybody who goes to the extent of doing this is
obviosuly a career pirate, and thereofre wouldn't have bought the program in
the first place, so a sale isn't lost. Follow???
