I know that our proxy setup here isn't very typical and I'm sure that most of your trial testers have no problems, but it's great to hear that you have another solution in the works. I will contact you and try out Chrome 1.5. Thanks again! Hello Marc,

Chrome 1.5 will be out within a couple of weeks (including an updated trial version and an updated free command line compiler) to coincide with the release of Visual Studio 2005. If you care to drop me a quick email, i will make sure to set you up with our latest Gamme version, asap. Thanx, and my apologies for your inconvenience, marc hoffman Chief Architect, .NET RemObjects Software Tobias,

However, I was trying to point out that such an error-prone and complicated registration system can prevent potential customers from trying out your software. I can understand that the collected customer data is valuable, but if some people cannot test your software because of it, you might lose customers. Using a typical registration scheme (registration on a website, trial key via email) or no registration at all might be better in my opinion. Hi Robert,
