    I was helping a user with a connection problem in an app. I noticed he is .17 versions behind (9.1 to 9.18). I suggested I upgrade the app since he has the CDs. He warned me I have to remove the license first or it will be consumed. Ok. The automatic method included won't connect to the vendor's server (original problem), but has a helpful link for "Try the Manual method". Let's see what that is. It displays the serial #, a deactivation code and the phone # to call. Below are Print, Close, and Help. After seeing this, I decide to postpone the procedure until I get confirmation from my boss. *Close* "This program is no longer activated. Please activate blah blah...." :omg: :doh: It went ahead and did it. I had to call up the vendor, give a sob story and read off some stuff to get the user activated again. Stupid design.:mad:

    I need an app that will automatically deliver a new BBBBBBBBaBB (beautiful blonde bimbo brandishing bountiful bobbing bare breasts and bodacious butt) every day. John Simmons / outlaw programmer

      And the software is? We like to have a name to sledge, heaping derision on an anonymous piece of junk just does not have the satisfaction as having a name to pile it on.

      Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

        Sounds like Kofax Capture, it can be a real PITA during upgrades.

          heh. "Are you sure you wanted to uininstall <program name>?" I think I'll include that in my next app, just to wake people up.
