    Hello,

    I just discovered MorphOS and happen to have a Powermac G4 Cube. It runs very well and I've decided to register.

    I come from the 80s/90s owning an Amiga 500,1200 and 4000. (I still have them!)

    Quick questions:

    1- Does the registration limits hardware change in the machine? I mean upgrading ram, hard disk. Not the processor or anything else

    2- I tried to register it yesterday and didn't receive any email. How long does it take usually? I might have to allow the sender's domain or email. Nothing in the spambox.

    Thank you very much for this marvelous OS!

    Pitou!

    1. the key is tied to the MAC address of your motherboard NIC, you can change everything else as much as you want
    if the motherboard dies you might request a replacement key for another board

    2. between 2 minutes and 2 days, it is a somewhat manual process. But AFAIK that only applies to the actual payment and sending of the key. Invoice should have been almost instantly so better double check if haven't blocked in one way or the other

    Thank you very much for the infos. Can you tell me from who I should receive the email? I'm pretty sure I need to allow it. My ISP mail servers are picky these days. I just need the domain name

    Not sure bout the domain, might be morphos-team.net.

    There might also be an issue on the server side, administrator is looking into it.
    He also mentioned your mail provider to be somewhat problematic.

    ok thanks. I'll wait and see. If necessary, I'll register again using another email address

    We did a few test, my normal email failed but it did go through on an alternate one, so trying with a different address is the way to go.

    Oh and morphos-team.net was the right guess.

    I just allow the morphos-team.net domain name and I received the email. However it says I already did send the request. I replied and waiting for the next steps.

    Thanks very much. Very good support!
