Zack,

You obviously wrote to 'support@thekompany.com', which is why you got the 
auto-responder, we had to do that because we were getting buried in 
questions for some of our free stuff.  You could have tried anyone of a 
number of different emails available at our site before resorting to the 
KDE list.

There is no registration key in your package because you bought online and 
were immediately registered and given a unique download key at the time of 
purchase which you can use to download your updates free of charge forever.

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble, we have many hundreds of people 
happily using DocBrowser and this is really the first complaint I've heard 
about it.  DocBrowser is a solid and reliable product, if there are 
features you would like to have, then please feel free to request them, but 
just because it doesn't have something you wanted, doesn't mean that it's 
wrong, it just means it's an opportunity for us to enhance the product 
based on your feedback.

So please feel free to direct your questions to me personally and I'll make 
sure the engineers get them.
