We have indeed blocked the keyfile in the final release. We will continue to watch out for pirate versions being uploaded and block any associated keys in successive updates. Where it is possible to get illegal downloads removed, we will try to do so, but as has been said, some downloads are virtually impossible to stop. It is easier to handle it on our end to some degree. But your efforts, Dublin, are certainly appreciated.
Obviously we don't condone piracy in any way, and I'm certainly disappointed that someone would not register "because they couldn't find out how". If nothing else we are always available via email for such questions, and the contact emails should at least be easy to find. The forum is also a great place to ask such questions. So this does seem like a pretty hollow excuse. The new site should also help address this.
That being said if the original poster has taken it upon themselves to come clean and, even better, to buy the software, well I can only be happy about that. We do offer the free version with fairly few limitations in the hopes that people will not be driven to piracy and, if they are hobbyists, will be able to use the software for their more limited needs until they outgrow the limitations and buy. I hope that strategy is ultimately effective, and its one I strongly believe in.
