=====================================================
many people complain about the lack of portability in xplorer2 (professional version, the lite one is quite portable)
the problem is that a single executable combines the pre-purchase 21 day trial and the licencing code. But that limits the use possibilities for bona fide registered users
so i had this idea. There could be a special build that is private to a registered customer (it will include his name and details in the About box) which is in fully unlocked mode and can run off a USB stick on any machine, without requiring administrator privileges to install.
there will be a small fee to make these individual builds (say $10), since each one will be "hand made"
what do you think? free at last!?

so a version with the protection removed? a subject that is close to my heart...
but what about illegal distribution of this version? ok you will have the name of the licensee, and will revoke their license, but will this offset the loss of earnings when a version is widely distributed across the internet? or do you consider that with cracks already in existence, there is little difference?

well i think it is very nice to hear that you are trusting... perhaps i am more cynical, but i might suggest that this option be open to longer-standing license holders, otherwise a cracking group may be willing to pay the fee just to get a copy with no protection...
