There is no file involved, it’s just a string containing user name and whatever else you need to verify the license.

There is a `no_openssl` branch of CocoaFob which uses SecurityFramework instead of OpenSSL and shouldn’t have any deprecations. I should merge it into master at some point and abandon support for old OS X versions. The main repository is https://github.com/glebd/cocoafob > > Anyway, look guys. I appreciate the help.

You can throw it at me as well, what with me being the author of CocoaFob and all (actually, more like co-author now that quite a few people have contributed to it). I worked closely with FastSprint a few years ago to get them to support CocoaFob and so far it has been working perfectly for me and a few other people. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
