About Registration
The firsttime you connect to the Internet from your newly installed SmoothWall Express, a
registration script runs once only.

for future viewing of that particular site, the registration script sends a few key pieces of
information about your installation back to SmoothWall Limited. This data enables thedevelopment team to gauge the type of platforms on which SmoothWall Express is being
deployed and to better judge what features it would be helpful to add to future releases.
