Hello Is it appropriate to enter a hardware wish? An idea which went by in the continuing discussion on HW locks was for a serialized lock that could work for 3DS and IPAS routines. Even though this would obviously require a costly change over initially it would make both developers and users happy. If plug ins are the shape of the future for 3DS can you imagine where we will be a few years from now without some solution other that locks? Twenty locks? Thirty locks? Anyway thats my wish, Thanks ED

Hi Ed, << If plug ins are the shape of the future for 3DS can you imagine where we will be a few years from now without some solution other that locks? >> Currently an IPAS4 routine could query the serial-number of the 3ds.exe and lock to it. However, I haven't seen the new routines use this feature yet. <<…wishes.. >> got it.

PMFJI Wouldn't that be kinda like the AME and Designer Serialization method? What a wonderful idea! -Lee
