    Update:

    There seems to be issues with installing on Vista 32-bit. So watch out people.

    Second, Stewie pointed out to me some information on activating this software with an alternative verification tool / program. I am not aware of this. Usually GAOTD has the software plus the read me / instructions text file, where you just follow those simple instructions. So I am not aware of a separate verification tool.

    But I am trying this out now to see if they have got up some new verification / activation procedures. Cheers.

    Edit: I just installed this. And its installing / activating fine (XP Pro, SP3)... No issues with the install and activation. Though I am yet to go through the program and its inner workings.

    I took a look at the software and the company's website, and from what I can see, most or all of what this does can be done with Microsoft's Network Monitor 3.1 - actually, I just went looking on MS' website, and they've released 3.2 in September (time to upgrade!).

    Given that MS' Network Monitor is free (d/l 3.2 from here), and not just as a one-day giveaway, I'd tend to go with that as opposed to the Sax2, as nice as the offer sounds.
