i have.
if this is incorrect please inform the "obscure figures" who use this method regularly to enter old codes.
its very common knowledge, considering they've been using from everything from apeiron to snapz pro.

doing such allows you to circumvent the registration app, the code itself does not expire, there is nothing wrong with the code, nor does it have anyway of knowing what machine you are using. The code however is derived from the name and time of issue...

I was responding to the following line:

Accordingly you may need to set the clock back on your machine inorder to enter the purchased code on your computer. (/quote)

If the code has not been made publicly available ie: as a pirated code, then this is incorrect. You merely need to input the code and click on the 'refresh code' button, not reset your system clock at all.

Since Ambrosia input the new code system, what you quote doesn't really work - putting back the system clock doesn't fool everything, neither does deleting the preferences, etc, etc.

Now, to the topic: I would here agree with dampeoples. Whether or not the CD exchanges hands in this transaction, the actual ownership of Coldstone isn't transferred by CD, but via a license code. You don't need the CD to run Coldstone at all, the application is fully functional once it has been downloaded and installed with a code. As such, I'd say that selling the CD makes no difference to the Ambrosia team, in that the app is being distributed without their permission. It is all too easy for one party to send the CD and code, but keep the code themselves. I'm not accusing anyone of anything here guys, I'm just saying that's how the system works. Hence, I'm going to close this topic. t's just a little too close to the borderline for me.

I suggest that both Nod and crizak contact either Andrew Welch (andrew@ambrosiasw.com) or David Dunham (help@ambrosiasw.com) before they go any further with their exchange - for the protection of all involved.
