We just want people to be running the final version, not the beta version. We don't want reviews in magazines to be based on obsolete kits that people copied to FTP servers, etc. We are still getting complaints about 1994 kits for Classic that people are somehow still downloading from FTP servers that installed a copy and then never updated it! So, we'll make the perpetual license keys require the build date of the release version. In general it is common for beta software to expire and require you to download the real thing - Netscape comes to mind. Eric
