 I would like a copy protection much different that this. I would like to be
based one a special number that would be derived from the owner's computer(a
special registry number or whatever) and that Shredder would be able to be used,
ONLY in the owner's PC. After a customer buy Shredder 9, it will have to give
you this code from his computer and give him a code to unlock Shredder to use it
only in his PC! Or to make a live-internet registration or something more
clever.
 I'm tired seeing all these cracks at various sites that make Chess engines (and
general software) available to thousants, without paying a single buck while we
have to pay 50$ for a single engine..........Your efforts of creating this
amazing program are useless without a strong copy protection....I wonder why you
don't make something more efficient for stopping all these piracy.....?

 And finally i saw Sandro said that the books would be the same(OK almost) for
Chessbase and Classic GUI. For the first time i'm confused. What should i buy?
Shredder 9(single-CPU).eng or Shredder 9(single-CPU).UCI......? Would be any
difference in the price?

Thank you............
