Roland, you have understood the whole thing absolutely perfectly. My problem is I can't work out the "turn it back into binary data and verify it" bit. However, the last quote above is perhaps the key (no pun intended). Rather than annoying you good folks, and trying to get you to reverse engineer something you're not familiar with first hand, I should really be asking FastSpring Support. It's not like I haven't considered this before; it's just that their docs (such as they are) on this all just point to 3rd party links, which are either dead (AquaticPrime) or point to stuff full of deprecations (the CocoaFob repository I cloned from their link had 38 deprecations in it , and that was AFTER I did all Xcode's automatic attempts for ARC conversion etc). Also, I figured this is a Cocoa problem not a FastSpring service problem, but I'm flat out of road to travel here without someone giving me specifics. Anyway, look guys. I appreciate the help. I'm just going to throw this at FastSpring and see what they come back with.
