demo timeout

[Wayne Townsend]

Nevermind,


Under much pressure, I figured out how to defeat the v3's demo's protection

logic.

It's a major hassle, but doable.


So, now I'll be ok until the Flash3 box arrives.  Probably Mon or Tue.


MM, I have one small suggestion:

When the demo times out, give the user an option of an extension for

several days, for situations like this.  The company ordered v3, but it

hasn't arrived yet - and the demo is timed out, which puts a stop to work,

and costs me time/money.


I thought I was clever by leaving Flash running (a day prior to expiration)

and never turning off my computer...

Well, I crashed this AM. (actually it was netscape that crashed me)  So I

had to resort to other measures to get Fv3 demo back up.  Don't ask me, as

I'm not at liberty to tell how I did it.  Instead, write MM, and ask for a

more liberal demo/extension policy.


Thx,
