No, Not an online registration. I want the same registration system that GM6 And GM5 Had. That one is the best.

I’d rather wait for longer and remove softwrap. I have had big problems, so i just re-bought it so i could have a GM8 free

Well I’ve had no problems with Softwrap, actually. But I know there are a lot who have.

@Sandy By using Softwrap could you remove the three-activations-only thing? I’m well aware it would increase piracy rates. However, at the same time, it’s what’s been bugging people that have willingly paid for the software. For example – I’ve had to reinstall my OS four times this year. The first two were okay, I could reactivate it. The third time was alright – Softwrap were quick (under 24 hours) to respond. But the fourth time, YYG (may have even been you) said Softwrap had lost the email. I lost two weeks of owning GM Pro before you guys had to reactivate it instead. Those two weeks were part of a four-week contest, which pretty much destroyed my chances in it.

That’s what I don’t like about Softwrap AS IT STANDS IN GM7 – it’s a piece of DRM that’s a pain to paying customers. If you could either remove the activation limits, add a “Disactivate this copy of Pro” button (though it wouldn’t help with crashes), or make it so a registration will automatically undo itself after, say, a month of GM not being used, then I would support it in GM8. If not (and pointing out you’ve already said in the YYG glog Softwrap is gone) I’ll wait until 2010.

@Sandy Is that a serious choice between GM8 this year with Softwrap or next year without?
