Emax

True, that's why I will add an explicit warning message in EMXP.
On the other hand, there's almost no installation procedure except 
for the licensing which is clearly described in the manual (with 
screenshots of all steps to be performed in OmniFlop). So I'm still 
convinced that people having trouble with this errormessage simply 
didn't read the installation chapter :-)

But I don't like this licensing procedure I must say, so besides 
adding the new message to EMXP I will ask Jason of OmniFlop to remove 
the whole licensing procedure for EMXP.
That will be the best solution for all of us I guess...
