Anthony, are you reading the responses from CL or no? They already said that it would be simple to authorize installation past the 3rd machine/configuration. All they have to do is check to make sure your serial number is not one of the ones being distributed on warez boards.<<< From Steve Yatson in the thread titled "About the Poser Protection" - "Let me clarify. You can register each serial# 3 times." Where is the statement you are talking about? I can't get anyone from CL to acknowledge my existence, let alone answer my questions, so if you can be of help I would be appreciative. For someone who recently completed his 4th system upgrade in 9 months, with a 5th already being planned, the above policy is absurd.
