Title: Retrieving iBrowse key
Post by: motorollin on January 31, 2010, 06:52:00 PM: I know you can't register iBrowse any more, but does anyone know if there's anyone I can contact to retrieve a lost iBrowse 2.4 key?

If you bought it from IOSpirit then Felix may be able to help you out. http://www.iospirit.com/contact/

It's called IBrowse2Key and normally lives in the program directory.

Post by: motorollin on January 31, 2010, 08:00:44 PM: Thanks. Unfortunately I can't find a file with that name on any of my backups. I think I lost the final backup I made of my A4000 before I disassembled it :(

I'll contact IOSPIRIT and see if they can help me.

Vault: a standard place to put keyfiles and evolved config files like Dopus's. Easy to back-up.

Sounds: standard system sounds

Logs: installation log files

Wouldn't a vault be a bad place to keep a key, especially if it was the key to the vault? Still, it's a cool name if only for the fact it reminds me of Fallout...
