Thanks Hugh, i had the same impression, but my tax consultant recommend to go the save and easy way and use a seller platform.
So i set up an account with Fastspring this morning. At the moment i am building a web service around the my license generator. Seems not to be very complicated. Btw.: If someone is looking for a keygen solution for LiveCode then have a look at Zygodact http://hyperactivesw.com/solutions_zygodact.html <http://hyperactivesw.com/solutions_zygodact.html>. I can´t say it often enough: It´s really an awesome and timesaving solution.
