I think I may have a solution to this 'return the disk' problem. Why doesn't New Horizons just do what IBM does with their software? A page in the manual is labeled as the program license. If you're ordering an upgrade, you return that page of the manual. That way, the user gets use of the disk while it is being updated, and New Horizons gets the sole identification of proof of license. Just don't do the stupid thing IBM does to register their Platinum accounting software. You have to call them, and give them a bunch of marketing information to get a number to enter in your software. If you don't, the software self-destructs in 15 days. That's got to be the most stupid registration I've ever encountered. Needless to say, I've bought the last piece of IBM software or hardware for my company. Paul
