I still have crypto and still use it however I am not using the web. I currently activate my programs using a serial number and machine lock. This is mainly so employees cannot take the programs elsewhere and use them and it works great for this purpose.
They do seem to be lacking in web activation samples and instructions but that is probably due to me being an extreme novice in ASP.NET and web programming. Possibly once I delve a little deeper into this realm I will revisit the web activation portion of the code.
