I started out with a registration system that didn't connect to the internet. After months of dealing with dozens of daily emails saying "I need a new code", I implemented the current system.

I have absolutely no objection to PAHUD connecting once for registration - it is the ongoing connections that I have an issue with. I can understand your concern with pirating, but I don't see why I have to take a (minor) risk to protect your business when any competent software hacker will find a way round this protection anyway. As I have a use for the product I'll have to put up with it, but don't pretend that it isn't an issue.
