RE: Data Area for Processor Model and Feature #

Valid point, but then again you could always do away with tiered pricing :-)
Or, ship the software to the customer, have him install it and have it
present a screen of applicable data (Processor, SSN, Model, etc) to the user
and THEN have the user call in for the correct code.

Just a thought.
