Even if the company may be willing to allows you to get some extra keys, still I do not like to ask or have to "justify" what I am doing and why. I promised myself not to buy any kind of software with this kind of protections no matter what, so I hardly will change my mind on this. So, I can understand you. I like programs like ChessAssistant, Shredder and CB that allows you to handle them as one wishes and this is what I want. Sandro
