If CL gets two or more emailed or automatic or phone or snail-mail requests from Mr.X to register the same copy of Poser 5 or whatever, on two different computers (#1 and #2), how will CL or its software distinguish between these cases?:- (0) Mr.X has two computers, perhaps a desktop and a laptop, and he will only use one at a time, and won't let anyone else use either, so the "only one user" rule is satisfied. (1) Ditto, but he plans to let different people use the multiple installations at the same time. (2) Mr.X has scrapped #1 and bought #2. (3) #2 is #1 with a new hard-drive. (4) The duplicate installations are actually off different CD-ROM's, and one or both of them is a warez or other breach or copyright.
