OpenOffice 3.1 Registration

To Whom It May Concern,

Not to start out on the wrong foot, but the help/support feature for
OpenOffice is a bit exasperating to use. Who has time to wade through tons
of stuff when they only want a simple answer?

Ever since the recent update to OpenOffice 3.1 every time I start up my
computer I am asked if I want to register OpenOffice. I have already
registered it. This is not a big deal since I simply click on the do not
register option. It's just annoying. Is there any way to stop being prompted
to register?

Again, I don't have time to search through your help/support forums. I have
tried and I have not found anything that addresses this issue; at least,
nothing that helps. I tried the one thing that I found - something about
disabling the registration wizard - and it did not work.

Sincerely,
John

Hello John,

Isn't there a 'Never Register' option instead of 'Not Register (now)'?
I download a new version about once a month, and only register again
every year or so...
