Are they not able to be registered via Al's website any more, or has he stopped responding?

Yeah, he's done. The sunrisedoors.com website has been giving an "Error 500" for close to two years now. One day I reached out to him to ask if he was aware, and he replied saying, "Yes, I am aware that the website is down Permanently. Mother Nature has a way of telling you to call it quits !!!!" (with the word "Permanently" underlined and bolded).

I didn't ask him what he meant by that at the time. I just thanked him for his time and the doors and left it at that.

That's a bummer. :(

Ah, ok. Thanks for the heads up.

On a positive note, he offered those doors with free keys via that website for quite awhile before deciding to close up shop. I'm guessing he has no way to open source them or make some kind of master key to put out there for everyone to use. So I suppose as long as he's cool with passing around existing keys, we can at least continue to do that.

Right on. Why let this hobby stuff die/disappear when it doesn't have to?

Let us know how it turns out. I have a lot of sunrise doors I would like
to activate full features on. Thanks for the update!

I would have done a farewell sale. Saying $15 for each package, Dos or winserver. Instead of just fading away entirely. Saying you have six
months to make a deal with me and after that goodbye.

I suppose he could have done that, but he was giving away free keys to anyone that emailed for over a decade. He could have easily made a one-time catch-all "My BBS" registration with all of the keys, and just send it out in a zip file.
