Is it possible Thad after putting in the license key for the shareware saver
and uninstalling the same saver, Thad with re downloading and installing you donā€™t get asked for a key again?

Technically, an uninstaller should uninstall everything that application installed and set up, otherwise it would just leave bits everywhere.

Well there seems to be Thad sometimes the custom icon for the saver gets left behind after uninstalling also the sub-installation folder gets left behind.
Also after downloading one screensaver file of my web server several times I come up with different results. Some times the shareware future is working and other times not?

wulf, the shareware feature should be working the same all the time. Most likely you either re-compiled the screensaver or made adjustments to it, so each time when you do this, the trial is reset. It will work persistent on computers that do not have Screensaver Factory installed.

The only thing that is left behind is the installation subfolder, we have chosen not to remove it in case user has installed some other screensavers or files into that folder, otherwise they would be lost. Everything else is removed. The custom icon file is not actually installed anywhere because it is integrated into the screensaver SCR file.
