    :wtf: I have used Roboform for years. I have loved it because it was simple. It did it's job perfectly, and it was brilliant. I've licensed 5 different versions, a flashdrive/portable version, an unlimited version and probably would have licensed more *IF* they hadn't opted for a frail, unstable and *GREEDY* activation scheme that is not only intrusive it's flaky. I have to activate it nearly every time I come back to my computer after being gone for a spell. It's irritating, synch (which restores my activation) is tedious with over 300+ passcards. I understand they want to protect their product but this is not how you go about it. I'm not a software pirate, I'm a long-time user and huge fan. At the very least they could have done a nice thing a little check like so: if (user.LicenseAge() > 3 years) { //Set nag to every 60 days. :zzz: licenseExpires(60, false); :doh: } private void licenseExpires(int daysFromNow, bool turnNagOn) { //Leave the poor damned user alone so they can get some effing work done! :| } The above code is free to any software vendor. :-\ If you wish to keep me as a user you damn well better implement it or something similar because nagWare is malWare and I'll remove it and go find the openSource free alternative you biatches!!! :rolleyes: There! Monday can now get off my back. Tuesday, where the heck are you? You're late that's where you are!!!:cool::rose:


    Why yes, as a matter of fact I am in a good mood. Now piss off! Climb On!
