My bad, Larry.  Didn't know you had a legal copy.  In that case, nevermind, and
good luck solving the problem.

Take it easy, Larry.  I made a mistake.  I haven't heard of any software that
does this before.

Yes, but most software will just shut up if you click a "don't register" or
"register later" option.  Quicken even has a "don't register" button but it
still nags you every few times you start it.  All of my sims are content to
be unregistered.

Sounds like a lot of MS software does this.  Seems like a real shame.  Once you
pay for it they should really leave you alone.

I just loaded mine on another system last night.  Quicken 2001.  It didn't ask
me to register the first time I ran the program, but it did the next time.  If
I cancel the registration, it will ask me every 2nd time...
Yeah, that's pretty f'ing annoying...

No "Don't Register" button is available.  I think it says "Not Now" or
something like that, but it just comes up again the next time you run it.

Yes, it is, isn't it :)

Like I said, I _used_ to just do it but now they have extended the reg page
to force you to create an Intuit online banking account, and it won't
complete the registration unless you do.

They can go pack sand.

That was TurboTax 2002, and it was to disable the Product Activation (which
proved to be a disaster for Intuit - I just wish other companies would learn
from their experience).

That's different than registration.
