- Hi Folks,
-
- If you licensed Executor/DOS and sent in your registration card and
- provided a valid, legible, e-mail address, then you should have been
- sent a form letter with your new serial number and authorization key.
- If you have licensed Executor/Linux and provided us with an e-mail
- address, you also should have a number and key.
-
- If you think you should have received a license key, but didn't, there
- are several possible explanations:
-
- You forgot to send in your registration card.
-
- You sent it in, but didn't provide an e-mail address.
-
- We couldn't read your writing.
-
- You changed e-mail addresses without notifying us.
-
- Miscellaneous glitches by postal service or ARDI
-
- In all cases, the way to rectify the situation is to send e-mail to
- "questions@ardi.com" and explain who you are, when you ordered it and
- what you think happened to the registration form. We will investigate
- and potentially ask you for further identification, like having you
- send in your original floppies, and once we're satisfied, we'll issue
- you a new number and key.
-
- We really want everyone to use the physical registration form because
- sometimes Executor is purchased by a third party (a dealer, a
- purchasing department, a gift giver, a spouse whose credit cards
- *weren't* taken away ...) and the use of the card assures that the
- true owner is the one that gets the updates.
-
- A long time ago we experimented with registering you when you
- phoned/FAXed in an order, but such a system just didn't work well as
- we got larger and did more of our sales through dealers and we had
- more institutional people buying Executor through purchasing agents
- (historians: yes, I'm talking aboout our heyday months selling
- Executor/NEXTSTEP right before NeXT stopped making machinery).
-
- NEXTSTEP users: as soon as Mat finishes getting ftp.ardi.com up and
- running (hopefully later today, although the project has taken longer
- than we expected), he'll work on a new NEXTSTEP front end that will
- allow a new NEXTSTEP version. It won't have the sped up graphics that
- we need assistance from NeXT for, because so far, we haven't received
- a single official response from anyone at NeXT whom we've asked for
- help, and we're ostensibly registered developers. Yahoo.
