Does the plugin write anything to my machine?

A5. Yes. The plugin creates a directory and stores short (few kB) status files in it. For Windows, it is generally located at “C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Application Data\FileOpen\”. For Linux or Mac, it is generally located in your home directory as a subdirectory named “.fileopen”. You can delete these directories whenever you want. Then, however, the plugin will do web exchanges for every document opened (not just once in 30 days), and it might lose its memory of your machine’s authorization for any paid subscriptions that you have. However, it is not hard to reauthorize your machine, if necessary.
