@docQ:
Nominal fee or cost of a new registration code would be in order, but it doesn't seem like the original poster of this thread thinks he has to pay anything, and just wants a freebie.
I'm sorry, but after reading Jeff's original post, I can read nowhere he askes for a
FREE replacement.
He says:
The registration number itself has been lost over time. What can I do at this point to get a replacement/re-generation of the registration number?
The problem lies in the fact he gets no reply at all, not one saying he's got to buy a new licence, or a re-generation-fee or anything, just simply nothing. That, in itself is bad practice.
