But to make it free and then create extra work for you and me plus I need to wait to get a key seems like a strange joke. There are certain concepts like freeware, shareware, cardware, addware, commercial programs. People expect to be able to use a program right away when it is called free, they expect to be able to use it right away but they know they should send the author a message when it is cardware, they know there will be annoying nag-screens and registration when it is shareware. Just don't call it free and then force registration. Regards, Georg v.
