Just for the record. If anyone uses up all their activations for a Vue product, they only need ask e-on to update the number allowed. I've done this at least twice that I can remember. It's no big deal.

It does however prevent someone from handing out tons of illegal copies of Vue and thousands of activations from taking place. I'm all in favor of this sort of copy protection-- much better than a hardware dongle, which other companies use. The hardware dongle can get stolen, lost, quit working, or may not be compatible with certain configurations.

Also, for the record, I don't think using the f*** word is ever appropriate for this forum.
