I just received my update to version 1.1, and have a warning (or is this
an "undocumented feature?")   :(

<flame on>

You must have your serial number ready when you install the update. If
not, and if you follow their directions regarding erasing your old
version before installing the new one, then you are locked out of
Fullwrite, and of course, all your Fullwrite documents.

I don't mind having to verify my serial number, but (a) they didn't
take the time to print it anywhere on their letter to me, a registered
user (instead, just "Serial Number on file"), and (b) they didn't warn
me that I was going to need it in order to update it. If they trust me
enough to mail me the disk unasked for, then they ought to handle this
"copy protection" issue more favorably for their registered users!

<flame off>
