According to the Admin member list, he last logged into the forum 3800 days ago - over ten years. I think that we can assume he has passed, or at the very least, has lost interest in Ots as a program.

a trick you can do, is to have a "partial" install of the OS (like windows, for example, back up the install process JUST AFTER THE FIRST BOOT, it will fit on a CD/DVD) then put your machine key with that install- and then, the next time when you (re)install the OS, the machine key will automatically work! (WARNING! don't give it out- you STILL need YOUR license pad and PDI...  but this trick eliminates having to deal with the 220 form after reinstalling your OS)

NOTE:  you STILL will require to have to deal with the 220 form stuff the first time around..

(I did this trick with XP and Windows 7; I haven't yet tried it for windows 10/11 since I need to figure out how to back up a partial install.. and have a complete running system that had its install backed up, but, the trick SHOULD work just the same)
