How to get a registration key for GBLIB2.EXE
============================================

In order for GBLIB2-branded files to be effective, it is important that the
branding software is only available to developers. If the security of the
branding is in question, then it becomes pointless to brand it at all.

Consequently, I have decided to release a restricted version of GBLIB2 so
that you can have a look at it as FREEWARE. The only restriction is that
unless the correct code key is passed to the WriteRegData routine, then
the branding information cannot be varied.

If you are a Visual Basic developer, and want to use it, then I am happy to
enable the WriteRegData routine for you as a free service. This will involve
compiling an individual version of GBLIB2.EXE for you, and supplying a code
key that matches this version.

If you are a software pirate, then I'd rather not do this.

All I have to know, is how to tell the difference, when I am asked to supply
a code key, between a bona fide developer, and a pirate.

When applying for your registration, therefore, I will make two requirements:

1) You email a completed REQUEST.TXT to me.
2) You also email some recent VB source code that you have written.

If any fields in REQUEST.FRM are incomplete, or you omit the VB source code,
then do not expect a reply.

The source code, of course, retains your copyright, and I will only use it
for verification of your status before deleting it from my hard disk.

The details in REQUEST.TXT will be stored in a confidential database, and
used only if your registered copy of GBLIB2 has been used irresponsibly.

Thank you,
Gordon Bamber.
