Template record type support has been added to both the toolbar and the respond client.
Most Word form fields/content controls will automatically map to TRIM user fields on the output record for both the toolbar and main client (note on the toolbar, this feature will only be active when creating a record from the current document, updating the record properties for a document that has just been generated or when a document that has been generated in this session of word is saved or closed - and in cases where the record has already been saved this requires update metadata permissions).
Added Word toolbar button for inserting the current user's signature.
If a newer version of a respond created document is checked out in the toolbar, it will use now use that as an output record instead of the original (and update the document to reference this version).
Added support to the toolbar for unprotecting/reprotecting documents during merge, note this will only work for documents that the user has the permission to unprotect.

Made it so newer versions of word features were preserved when using the edit feature of the main respond client.

Added new license key system.
Added Gender to location template fields.
Tested using Sigma Respond from TRIM Connect in Kofax, for generating automated Responses from scanned document/data capture processing.
Fixed issue with exit on process and sending emails where sometimes the client would exit before the emails had finished sending.
