Well, I understand E-ons reasoning. It's simple to see. They want to protect any VUE CONTENT sold through their "store" so that it cannot be shared by the purchaser. Each product is tied to your Vue serial number if I read this correctly. Wonderful.. I don't supposs the "store" will carry 3DS, Poser, or Lightwave products as they "can't" be tied to a Vue serial number? First off, the "store" should plainly state this in simple english or whatever lanquage you use. Second, I bought VUE as a product ( This includes Vue4, Vue5, and Vue Infinite). I did not but it for a "store" account with E-on. Any other software I but for any other software comes with it's own installation code. I don't mind. I print it our and save it. It's not tied to Poser,3DS,Lightwave, or any other software. It's tied to (Encrypted) to the individual product I bought. Be it a tree, a plant, or an object. Now, if Vue is going to attempt to make each Vue Product sold apply to a the Vue registration key, that definate means that product can only be used and modified by the individual owner within VUE. It cannot be exported or modified outside of the VUE program. It is VUE specific. Unusable in any other software product. That is not going to sell many products, especially if most other products allow the exporting of their products into VUE but Vue does not reciprocate. I be be totally wrong. If so, I apologize. Just tell me the vob file I purchase and modify can be exported. If it can't, and can only be used in Vue it is worthless to me.
