Just to add to my previous post...this error has been fixed for the upcoming 1.5.1 release.  Bottom line is that we prevent more than 30 characters from being entered.

This is basically a seed that will be used for encrypting your security information.  You can get an overall description through the documentation under the following location in the Contents:

Defining Security within the Application -> Programmactic Access -> Required Appmain.vb (program.cs) Code -> Specifying the Encryption Key for User Data

As for the error, I will fix the field to prevent too long a field from being entered.  The maximum length is 30.

I get this after clicking 'ok' when creating a new "security project". I think the issue is that I gave it a "security key" that was too long. What should we be putting in there anyway?
