Version 2 of this package was released on November 3, 2005 as open source software. A commercial version is also available which provides greater security and resistance to decompilers who go looking for your registration code.
Some viewers have pointed out that there is a "flaw" in this component that fails to encrypt the included package. This is not a flaw, but a limitation of the free version. The registered version is designed so that the program itself must also check the registration code. This prevents one user from installing the program and simply copying the binaries to another machine, and allows for the distribution of "feature-reduced" copies that change their behavior depending on whether or not the registration code is present.
For instance, simply by using the silent installer option you can get the full commercial version of the registration component, without entering a serial number or key. Without the serial number and key though you won't get the features of the commercial program, but the more limited features of the free version.
Instructions are included with the package to help you add these features to your program.
