Hi Bernard. Hmmm...it sounds like someone out there in message-land is suffering from a severe allergy to facts or insufficient information, because reality is 180 degrees in the opposite direction. That is utterly false and could confuse other users!

So I feel compelled to emphasize: sending DIRECT EMAIL to me is usually the BEST and surest way to get a RESPONSE from myself if that's what is desired. I do NOT monitor every thread on lists and forums, and a response here from myself is considerably LESS likely. As I say, the exact opposite. I aim to respond initially within 48 hours, assuming I receive the message and the subject line has something to do with the product name or LiveCode. It's possible that someone has emailed me and it was caught by my ISP or their ISP or a filter - that should be rare if ever, but from faceless rumors there's just no way to know. I've always maintained two email addresses, at pair and curryk, just in case any situations like that ever come up.

Feel free to ask questions here from amazing people here like Matthias, and it worked out extremely well this time, so all is good. My only request is this: please just don't pass along unverified information from unknown messages in the process of asking questions. That could confuse someone else and make it more difficult for THEM to get help. Plus it takes time writing up an extra explanation about the fake info, which takes time away from assisting people and finishing updates and fixes. I'm slow enough at times without needing any drag parachutes and side detours to hold me back from the work! :)

That file and a brief reg command summary are usually in an order confirmation email along with the license key. Remember, WordReport itself is a product, not a store. It's sold on multiple stores and only one store (my own) is under my direct control. Depending on where and when you bought the product, such as a bundle, it's possible that the store's product delivery might not have been set up to include those resources in an email. Or if you've lost that email and come back later for the download, similar situation. In such a case all you would need to do is ask LC Support or myself and it would be provided.

Thanks Bernard, very much appreciated! And it's getting even better; an update is coming pretty soon. Good luck on your project.

And thanks Matthias for doing a perfect job of fielding this inquiry! Hope you are doing well.

Best wishes,
