If you are referring to getting a no-cost Shockmachine for
testing/development purposes, I know the team is working on this, but I
don't think they have a resolution yet--might take a few more days.

the Shockwave Player and the Remote are downloaded together. The
ShockMachine is downloaded seperately.

We are trying to work out a good implementation. Probably something like
requiring you to have a Flash or Director serial number and registration of
the most recent version in order to download a developer release (i.e.
no-charge) of the ShockMachine.

Probably just an electronic version, but we will try to make sure that you
can always download a backup if you lose your version for whatever reason
(new computer, etc.)
