I'm a new user of version 3.4.2 as of a couple of days ago and purchased the product for a specific project. I've found that certain values for the Product Info field cause an issue. My Product Info is the value returned by calling GetHashCode on a hard drive serial number in a .NET 2.0 app. Certain values were telling me that the license key was not valid for the current product. I traced the issue to the EncryptedLicenseProvider.Checksum method. The specific value I was using was -1892278588 but some other values had the same issue, including 1892278588. When it came time for Checksum to return a value the 'hash' variable contained a negative number, thus converting it to a UInt16 threw an exception. I can only assume that this is a bug that will require an update, but if it's possible that I'm doing something wrong then please let me know.

We have confirmed that there is a problem in the VB version of this code. The problem relates to the how VB handles conversions between signed and unsigned numbers. This problem does not affect the C# code or the DLL (which is built from C# code). We will try to have a fix out as soon as possible.
