   I am a penny-pinching Scrooge at best.
   The software is worthless; only the full version works, making the 
key unavailable.
   Why should i $pend so much money for one key?

   Did a LOT of searching.

   Was VERY lucky and found the password.

   There is a long string of numbers in the splash screen:
19174209416

   Seems useless - what is it for?

Thanks.
