Gabriel,

Yup the message got screwed up somewhere along the line. I was about  
to send out a plain text version but another list user has identified  
some other problems with the plugin not running so I am trying to sort  
it all out now.

In answer to your question, NO information is logged.

The online database is just a list of what features can run against  
what security keys.

The plugin reads this database and then compares it against the  
security keys that are held. The security keys are gathered from local  
information (e.g. the machine local address, the MAC address if you  
are running Java6, the system properties for user.name).

This security information is not logged anywhere, either locally or on  
our website.

The sdbcache is just a local encrypted copy of the online database  
that is intended for use when the online version is inaccessible.

I hope this explains what is going on. I'll be adding this information  
to the website to make it publicly available.

Can I ask if you succeeded in getting the Composite_Palette to run as  
I have one person (to my knowledge) that finds it fails.

Regards -- Michael Ellis
