Hmm...I could have swore that support was included with our price when we
paid for Emerald. Maybe I was mistaken.

>Which I don't have except for 2.5 and 2.5 right now WOULD require support.

I'll take your word for that. Just looking for another option...

>Which we have.

If you have, why haven't you released a new version of Emerald for over 6
months? The "released" Emerald still has very old controls. If you have been
implementing new controls, why don't we ever see new versions that use them?

>Because you'll put it into production and demand support.

I didn't know you were psychic.

I have responded to every question you have asked. I have NO IDEA which
control is causing this; if I did, I certainly would have told you that by
now. I ASSUMED that you would know which controls the licensing portion of
Emerald uses.

I took the time to compare file sizes of controls included with Emerald, and
controls that now exist on my machine. Every one is different.
