Hi JKeller, just to make that clear, for Lightwave and Cinema4D you have to register and get your "final serial number" or unlock code once. IMO forcing customers to register isn't legal either but that's another story. The point is, that if one have got his final unlock code from Newtek or Maxon he can install the software on every machine and theoretical for ever. You'll not be forced to have any further contact to the company. If it is that what CL want to do, ok, I'll hate it but I could live with that. Updating the unlock code for any reason is just not acceptable for me. An other point is, that PPP is just an add on for Software like Lightwave or Max. Some Lightwave user have 10 and more of such commercial add ons and plug ins. Now imagine how delighted one would be if every company had such a software protection and one have to update 10+ lock codes every time he change the machine. regards Thomas
