Re: [OT] Serial numbers



Hi David,

Phone home registry? Is this a Mac feature I'm not familiar with?

I think he's referring to an online registry that the software contacts on startup, to register a particular serial number. Many users are wary of this method though, as they convince themselves that you're transferring private info about them to your server.
