casamerica, perhaps if you posed your questions in a less hostile manner, people would find it easier to answer your questions.<<< JKeller, I appreciate your taking the time to respond. However, my questions were not, IMHO, put forward in a hostile manner. I am a honest, paying customer and I want answers to my questions. That is all. And I would like them answered by the people who SHOULD know the answer - Curious Labs. It seems, however, that anyone not accepting this with no questions asked is getting heat from those who have accepted it. >>>Here's the quote from clsteve: "6. 7. 8. Let me clarify. You can register each serial# 3 times. The copy that is on one machine cannot be moved to another simply by copying it. Two different aspects of protection. You'll spend less time emailing us for additional installs than you've spent on this thread."<<< Okay. That is the same quote I was referring to. That still says nothing about after number 3. Nothing. Or am I completely and totally reading it wrong? Could be, it has been one helluva day. The way I read it, understand it is that everytime I upgrade I have to call into their system to get authorization. Is that correct or not? And that after the 3rd upgrade, I have to start proving I am a honest, paying customer or buy another copy. Is that correct or not? I'm just asking because I have read posts from Steve, Karen and Anthony and, quite frankly, they appear to contradict on a number of items. My advice would be for CL to appoint ONE person to answer the questions until this firestorm blows over. I know, it would be a terrible thing to do to a co-worker but maybe they could give them combat pay and an extra week of vacation. >>>Other replies by Steve Cooper and Steve Yatson have mentioned that besides emailing, you could also telephone for additional installs. I know you may want a clearer explanation about this, but the questions are so spread out amongst the different threads that the answers are as well. Hopefully this will become much more clear when they post the FAQ.<<< Well, again, I thought that the email and snail mail options were for those who did not have their machines hooked to the net. Not for additional installs past number 3. Again, am I misreading this? Again, though I disagree with you, I appreciated your time and effort in responding.
