Hi Lynn,

Just wonder if it really can hurt us ?

As I understand, Ron must have OWN serial number scheme.
His idea is just use CODE that do time out check in Valentina.

When HIS user buy his serial and enter it,
Ron in background register Valentina. So Valentina becomes registered.

Okay, I think exists problem here.

Assume product of ron become VERY popular, 100-1000 times more popular that
Valentina self. May be this is game?
So efforts of crackers will be target on protection scheme, i.e. On
Valentina protection in fact.

Yes, better they will be target on your own protection, Ron :-)
