Well the free 30 day trial with nag screen ran out and DS would no longer run.  I got serious about registering my second instance of DraftSight which I have on the KDE32 Platform 4.8.3.  During the process I managed to create a problem for myself as follows.

Registration is simple, insert email address, repeat email address, select country, title and work area.  Very simple.  I tried 4 or 5 times sending registration details, tried various email addresses as well but despite email apparently go, no acknowledgement email with final registration details or error message.

The error I made was to paste the email address into the second address field, on my system this does not work, had to carefully type the second email address, then I got instant in application acknowledgement message  and  almost instant second email message to complete registration.  

The next run of DraftSight was without nag screen, pheeeww.   I also attempted registering on their help forum, to put my problem, but I was unhappy about the extra details required of me so I declined and battled on.

My last desperate attempt was to type the email address.  In the past I have been in the habit of pasting these second repeat requests when joining various forums but got caught out this time.   ;D.
