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.
