Today, I had to do a system restore to fix a problem, then of course the typical Auth.Req.Code expiration problem crept up. So once again I'll need another from you. Is there a way that can be fixed. I can't get in to HAL to deactivate it to free up the code, do I need to uninstall and reinstall it, or just keep asking for an activation code.
I'm not sure why a system restore to just a few days ago should corrupt or delete some license code, I suppose you have your reasons, but it seems like this is a big glitch that a lot of people have major issues with. I think it's great that you've made the brain and access to create scripts available to everyone, which will improve Hal, but there must be a better automated way to prevent program theft/duplication than to make it so difficult for the ordinary user that can't even figure out the first way to hack into it. Isn't that how Bill Gates got to be so rich with WIN3.1 was easily copied then everyone got addicted to it and had to buy all the programs for it from him. So you could make it easily copied or just give it away and then make incredibly great and awesome brains and charachters that everyone would want to give you $50 (cheap enough for the average). Then hundreds of thousands of people would want to buy it and you could be incredibly rich and buy an island in the Caribbean and drink margaritas with those little umbrellas on the beach and soak up the sun, or just take over the universe. You gotta love capitalism.
