[Error opening fsuipc.dll=7]

I'm going to be completely honest here.

I had a hacked version of FSUIPC on my PC with an illegally gained key. (Reason - I'll be buggered if I'm paying NZ$50 for something that I don't know exactly what it does, I'm a HUGE believer in try before I buy and trial periods. I have spent NZ$150 on FS software and at least NZ$130 of that was on software I could trial first - Pete, consider implementing a 30day or 20 use trial period, it sold me on FSNav?)

I had basically decided that the registered version of FSUIPC added no functionality to FS for the price and was content with using the unregistered version. I however failed to delete the key and when I upgraded to 3.4.1.1 I received the Error opening fsuipc.dll=7 message using the flight1 atr.

Promptly deleted the key file, the ini file, and fsuipc_reg.bin file and never seen the message again.

I have the greatest respect for Petes work and believe in his right to charge for his exceptional product, had FSUIPC added any more to my day to day use of FS I would have purchased it.

The fact that none of their email addresses used here are known as registered user addresses is also suspicious, though of course they may have more than one, or have changed it since registering.

I am not a naturally suspicious person, but it is looking a little odd. I am, however, keeping an open mind.

Be suspicious Pete Having experienced this message first hand I personally believe that the users reporting this error are probably running illegal copies. The fact that they are asking for help on it absolutely boils my blood!

Keep up the good work Pete - sorry if I appear to be a pirate but I'm not really.
