      See post 12. But keep in mind it gives us Jelsoft the impression you have nullified the script and might distribute it. Anyway, you're permitted to do so (remove license number).

        Removing your customer number (from the one place I can think of that it is mentioned) will make it impossible to install the software...

        Removing your LICENSE number, mentioned in every file, that's a whole different kettle of fish.

          Please forgive me for a second, however, what is the harm in having the number on the files?

          It is not as if you can do a right click view source and see it??

            I believe the client-side files like Javascript files include it as well as the PHP.

                Users who browse your web site will not see your customer number or your license number.
