Your dongles are really beyond what I imagined, they are great. Thank you for your technology and instant support. You helped someone who knows very little about protection to powerfully protect his database.
Thanks for the very swift reply, it's very nice to be dealing with a company that takes its customer service so seriously.

I love Copyminder. Having sold our software to a user, and him using it for a couple of weeks, he pulled the old 'My card was used fraudulently' ploy to get his money back. No problem. We disabled his product key. He was on the phone this afternoon complaining that the software wasn't working. There was a lovely silence when I told him we'd pulled the plug until he coughed up the dosh. A silence full of guilt, and the revelation that we knew his little game. Nice one Copyminder.
