Although the interface is a bit wacky, if you ask me, the idea is sound: help people determine if their copy is genuine or a pirated copy.
However, the media (actual disk) is usually useless without the CDKEY. Media is actually cheap, it's the key that costs the real money in comparison. Perhaps they should have a "verify my CDKEY" wizard. |
