Man that looks fishy.
Bat rays? We don't need no stinking bat rays!

Well it does seem to work... risking a flood of emails I went through the motions and received a serial. I have not tried to see if is valid and wonder if it is the same number for every application.
The first section of numbers is AVBKF-24AVR-ZE652 if anyone wants to compare |

Avanquest is an official partner/distributor of Marine Aquarium 3. However I don't think giving away the product to any Tom, Dick, or Gerhardt is what Jim or Prolific had in mind. I will be watching this intently.

Avanquest was meant to be our hard-copy manufacturer and distributer. Unfortunately, they also have the right to do electronic sales, which has proven disastrous for me.
They buy a block of Key Codes at a greatly reduced price, then can do whatever they want with them. If they want to give the keys away as some kind of advertising promotion, we can't stop them. If anyone notices that they are giving away the SAME key to more than one person, we can definitely stop them.

Yes Jim, the keys are all the same. (the ONE key, that is)
I tried 3 different dispose emails, and the key was the same. Also the same as Ralphs AVBKF-24AVR-ZE652-XXXX one. BTW, it's completely different than the key you gave me for beta test. |

Prolific has sent a Cease-and-Desist order.

Maybe a blacklisting on the key for next build:
